How do these lights get power?

Its a brake micro light and Im just not sure how it works before I even buy it. It looks nice though, has anyone tried these? They come in 3 different styles for disc brakes, v brakes and calipers.

Lost in translation?
Wow, if you want a laugh, look at the pictures that accompany the ad. It is the wording that accompanies the third picture, especially the third line. This is so small that it can only operate off a button cell. I wonder where they got so powerful an LED that they had to include the warning.

Be seen brake light? Save your $3.50. Nobody more than a couple feet away from you is going to see a 5mm red LED and be able to interpret what it means. I can't recall the last time I burned my fingers on an ordinary 5 mm LED but maybe that's because it never happens.
