Truly daylight visible, this taillight is the best safety accessory you can add to your NiteRider lighting system. One of the brightest taillight available, up than 10 times brighter than any other on the market and 20 to 30 times brighter than most stand-alone taillights. Powered by any surlock NiteRider headlamp system battery using a pass-thru connector, this taillight can be operated independently of the headlights, and offers steady or flash modes. Both rack and seatpost mounts are included with the NiteRider taillight.
Features: 360 degree visibility, 16 Ultra Hi-Intensity LED's, a system weight of 85g/3oz, and uses less than 1watt of power, which means almost no impact on burn times.

Strengths: Probably one of the brightest tail lights out there, works off of my larger Niterider system, uses little power from the main system, easy to modify mounting to fit almost anywhere with a little drilling and tapping.
Weaknesses: Surlock system tends to come unplugged. Very sensitive to power dropouts so can't be used with the old loose battery systems.
Bottom Line:
This is the real deal. If you have a Niterider system, get it. I love hearing complaints from drivers about how bright it is (somehow they don't get it--that is in fact my objective). A little pricey, but worth it if spend much time on roads. On a trail, who cares--nobody is going to run you over from behind there. Niterider was very good about trading in my old one for the new format when I bought a new system.
