I don't know of a source other than Jitensha, though do know that Cateye makes them. They also come as standard equipment on the Novara Fusion. I've got a couple gripes about it though, that you should be aware of before buying. 1. The batteries are a type E, or something similar. Though, I've just replaced them after 4-5 months of daily use, which isn't too bad. 2. The light makes a slight spring rattle sound when moved. I assume it's part of the motion-sensitive switch. I can't hear it at all when riding, but it's there when I'm not. 3. There's no manual switch to prevent the light from coming on when your bike is parked in your shed and you bump anything near it. (Though, a switch would introduce another entryway for water and my batteries only recently needed replacement, so this isn't too big an issue.) So, would I buy another? Probably. It's pretty nice to not worry about if it's on or not. The battery lasts a good long time too and the whole unit is pretty lightweight. It's not the brightest light in the world, but acts as a secondary taillight to my PB Superflash attached to the back of my helmet. In fact, I just noticed this morning, after my commute, that my Superflash batteries need a re-charge and so was glad to have this light as a backup. I also think it looks a lot nicer than the other fender taillamps currently on the market.
