Thanks for the info. I also like helicopter tape that Bob posted above. Makes sense about the pclamp on the micro light, might as well make it more durable, would be nice if they just sold it with a metal clamp. It would be cool if Blue Lug Koma lights had a dynamo version. The toggle of the Sinewave Beacon seems awesome. I just had a B&M Avy PLus N light fail, and I think it was due to the on/off button breaking. That makes sense about just pointing the light down a bit, seems like that would work for city streets. I just discovered the Kasai Trail Beam, seems like nice more affordable beacon. I don't see any rear wiring or a rear light in the pic you posted on the bike with the green seat roll and basket, am I missing something?
