Hell, I'm a sucker for gadgets. If it detects braking and flashes, I'm in, I'll just forgo the next 6pk. of beer, $17, why not. KB.

im not all that worried about a super bright tail light, personally. a car coming up behind me should have its lights on. a good reflector should be plenty for visibility.

✅ SET YOUR OWN LIGHT MODES: 5 light mode options: Strobe(9 hours), Slow Strobe(56 hours), Meteor Flash(14 hours), Windmill Flash(17 hours), Breathing Flash(8 hours). You can switch different modes according to your needs and different occasions to get the best lighting experience

Because it's only 15 lumens and for a few bucks more you can buy one 10 times brighter.

but yeah that thing needs to spin!

Delta made taillights that glowed brighter when you hit the brakes, that was in the 50s or so, have one.

I pulled up at a stop light behind a guy running one of these lights this morning. It was...underwhelming.

My bike has a 12v supply for lighting, but i don't use a tail light. This topic makes me want to fit a crazy one. Like a car fog light. Some of the latest LED ones are pretty rad. You could always use a 12v rechargeable li-po battery.
