Also, I have quite a few blinkies on the rear and I'm sure they are more than adequate.
Anyway, I'm not not recommending the Ultrafire WF-501B Philips Luxeon K2 Red LED Torch, just be sure that you really need a blindingly bright rear light before buying one.
depends on how you look at it. someone might want a really powerful rear light because low density traffic means the cars are usually going faster and a stronger light will mean that you are noticed earlier.
high or low volume of traffic, either way, if you have to ride along roads marked at 60~80km/h speed limits then this is really nice to have.

maybe on a rainy day.
I just aim it straight behind.
