I know, I know....if it saves your life, it's worth every penny, but I've had folks tell me they can see my $20 Planet Bike taillight at a half a mile.

I don't commute in heavy traffic, maybe it's worth it for that.

Just sayin'....
They had a special sale a few months ago - about $100 w/o battery or charger. I adapted it to use my 7.2v NiCd and 8.4v NiMh RC battery packs - they last longer.

I've also used the ViewPoint sold by Performance Bike. It's quite bright for a $20 taillight. The downside is I've had two of them go defective/dim - and it wasn't bad batteries.
