I too was consternated by this dilemma. I run my Dinotte on low/no flash and my Planet Bike blinkeys blink'n. The Dinotte on flashing is just totally over the top. I've been using this set up for several years and haven't had any problems with seizures or appoplexy near as I can tell. Of course I'

Seizures? I've not noticed any seizuring when riding the 'Burning Reina' (a.k.a 'clown') bike. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rasterdogs/6541835389/in/photostream It has drawn props from a number to the under 18 crowd in the past few dampish night rides. Other bicyclers go by me so fast it doesn

I happen to know that EricP doesn't do many after-dark group rides, so tailoring his lighting to other cyclists is probably not a priority. I rode for awhile behind a guy who had one of those slow flash frequency DiNotte taillights. I saw spots for days! -- You received this message because yo

I have a few ideas for seizure-inducing high output taillights, and it probably makes sense to run several at a time, at different blink frequencies. Is it a good idea to induce seizures in approaching drivers? Yes, I think so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goog

You mean like getting run over by a Hummer? Sorry, couldn't resist. To put in my 2 cents, both as an automobile driver during non-daylight hours, and the father of a bicycle commuter, I say the more light the better. IMO if you feel that the taillight is inadequate, it probably is. The $17

Have had this tail light on my Sam Hillborne for the past year or so. It's the only light that works with the E3 headlight without blowing both up to smithereens. However, no matter how much I want to like the light, am just not sure it is enough. Only three dots and no reflector to amplify the li
