Cois Posted August 13, 2014 Share Guys, I am looking for a light on the back of my bike. I do not care if it blinds motorists. I am sick of these people in their cars and mini busses that think they are the cat's ass. At this stage I feel like turning around my 1000 lm front light and getting a red lens for that. Any SUPER bright lights out there? Dirkitech and Harryn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted August 13, 2014 Share Perhaps this can help as well? https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/141169-introducing-backtracker/ and maybe it would be a cool function that it shines brighter as cars get closer. Backtracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipspringer Posted August 13, 2014 Share I use 2 flashing ones (each have 5 LED's I think) from Sportsmans Warehouse mounted above each other. Two are more visible than 1 and to reduce the possibility that both run flat at the same time, l never replace their batteries at the same time.

tombeej Posted August 13, 2014 Share Why just one? When I commute I have 2 on my seat post and 1 on the back of my helmet. Each one has a different flash pattern. I'm lit up like a christmas tree - cars see me before they see traffic lights. Steven Knoetze (sk27), Brandon P, Hackster and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted August 13, 2014 Share Why only have red lights at the back? I have three red (flea, laser and cateye)with a white flashing flea,The best single rear light IMO is the Magcshine rear light but this on its own is not enough. No light on its own is enough and there is NEVER enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted August 13, 2014 Share Magicshine/light MJ-818 That's a proper bright tail light Wuzzie, usxorf, Spoke101 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I FLY Posted August 13, 2014 Share Magicshine/light MJ-818 That's a proper bright tail light I used this on my seatpost and a 4 x red LED Blackburn flea on the back of my helmet. Motorcyclists used to ask me where I bought the Magicshine light so I assume it was effective Edited August 13, 2014 by I FLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted August 13, 2014 Share When I was riding in the dark, I had a Blackburn Flea under my seat and one on my helmet as well as one of those 5 LED flashers with the laser beams on the road. On the front it was two white Blackburn fleas set to flash and a 900 lumen Magicshine. My training partner refused to ride behind me and he said he could see me coming long before he actually saw me in the mornings when we met up. That Magicshine light is a good option as well. You can't have lights that are too bright. The Fleas are the bomb. Don't be put off by their size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any SUPER bright lights out there? How will it help if you blind the motorist and he drives into you? Similar to these guys with their front lights on strobe function.....
