When I put a constant running LED tail light on my rear rack it was a good day......It truly makes the bicycle a vehicle. No more worries about dead batteries etc. There are some real benefits to a constant on tail light. Just run the wires back there.... its no big deal then refine it with internal wiring later. I use the B&M IQ Fly with daylight running lights but the Cyo with the more focused beam is better for faster riding. You can't improve on the Edeluxe however and I intend to get one eventually. The switches are better on the Edeluxe....I've had the IQ switch go wonky on me a couple times.
