Any good "bag" lights?
 
Other than the RZ4?

I played around with moving my Cherrybomb to the tab on both the seat wedge and the trunk bag. While it's bright enough, it's more effective when properly aimed and that's not possible on those fabric blinky tabs.

Love the CherryBomb and always wondered how well it would do there. Guess it'll stay on the back strap of my helmet, where it seems to stay relatively level and prominent from the side. Thanks for the heads-up!

Perhaps you could cut a piece of foam or something to put between the light and bag to keep the light properly aimed....

I just picked up a Serfas UTL-6 Thunderbolt to mount on my saddlebag. It's got multiple led's and no focusing lens so it's non-directional and painfully bright. From a distance it's no brighter than my Superflash straight back, but at 80 degrees to either side it's still as bright. The battery doesn't last much longer than my headlight, and that worries me some, but my plan is to charge it at the same time as the headlight. It mounts with two silicone straps which reassures me about keeping it.

Been trying to figure this same problem out....

Serfas finally has a product video of it up on their website, along with another video that's a bit more of a 'first impression/review'. Don't know how well it would mount to a seat wedge without a clip, but a bright, non-focused light is exactly what someone who has a slight spatial judgement problem needs. It looks like it doesn't matter if you line it up 'just right' to be effective, so long you point it in the general direction...

Up until recently, I had a cherrybomb mounted to my rack crossways with zip ties and in that direction, I think it was visible from a wider angle. I have one of these as well. it quite bright and non-directional. A little on the large side, though.
