After testing about 6 or 7 tail lights I've come to the conclusion that the Nashbar Brilliant Taillight is by far the best bang for your buck. Sure you can make a brighter light (swap out the white LED's from a headlight with red ones). But for the money it just isn't worth wasting your time with the soldering. 60-70% of my riding is done pre-dawn and I rely on this light a lot. I have two on the bike and have never had one fail. It really is the best little tail light out there.
