During the day, with the light off, is it a good rear reflector? Also, can it attach to a Topeak Aero Wedge Pack?

I would still pair it with a real reflector or Portland Design Works Radbot 1000 (I use both for maximum lightage). I don't think it stands as reflector on itself It has a plastic clip on the back, I clip it to my backpack when I am carrying it around

I would say it doesn't really perform as rear reflector with the light off. I'm not sure what a Topeak Areo Wedge Pack is...sorry!

when off I would not consider this a reflector. However, the batteries last a REALLY long time. I run mine anytime I ride, batteries are good for 1000 miles or more.

No, being in position off, it's just an ornament, now daylight and position on, if you have good reflector. Definitely very good lighthouse stop. I recommend it.

Yes to the wedge pack and i don't believe it reflect. if you turn it on during the day it is highly visible.

i run the light day or night, it stands out clearly on my scooter. I found it easily attached to my rear rack. I get a lot of comments on it. I like the flash options, I leave it on the multi flash option. It is a quality product.

There isn't much reflective material on this rear tail light, it's just a light. It attaches in multiple ways, I have mine on the rear stay of my bike. Not sure if it will fit onto your saddle bag.

It works, but it has no reflective properties at all and it's barely bright enough to be seen. Also, it doesn't seem that every small part is aligned to fit well... things are kind of crooked and I'm pretty OCD so that bugged. I had to put it up under the fender far enough for some shadow, but still eventually had to go a different route. Good luck!

Yes! Remarkably well! Of course, pay attention to the "day" "night" "stars", etc settings. For most purposes, you'll want to keep the "low light" setting on.

I had the mount on the back of a 2010 Ford F150 and hauled a Honda Trail 90. There was no need for extra lights. I did mount reflectors on the bike carrier.

You're better off using lighting systems on your helmet, front of bike etc. These are MUCH more effective than reflectors. Invest in lighting as if your life depends on it, because it does.

I went on line to look up the Topeak Aero Wedge Pack with Buckle and the answer is "YES", the NiteRider Solas Tail Light has a clip that will hook into the loop on the back of this pack.

I would consider it more or less a combo. The light reaches out very wide to the sides of my vehicle (I have it mounted to a roof rack on top of my SUV) But on top of the light being bright to the sides, I have noticed that light has lit up about a 1/4 mile of road before. I am honestly very pleased with the performance for the price.

It's bright enough to see easily during the day, so I expect it would very bright at night. They've removed the flashing feature due to customer feedback so it remains on steadily when your device is on the pad. "Customizing" it with black tape should solve any night time issues.

I would not recommend it for night time driving. It is best used during the day.

its weak unless you are using it on road and there are street lights. For mountain biking I would by one of the cheap 4000 lumen lights on ebay for about 30 bucks, that's what I did and it worked out great

I fully agree with your idea. I bought a "Wide Angle Lens for MagicShine, Gemini, and many other Bike Lights / Headlight" by ACTION LED LIGHTS about a year ago and have been very happy with it. With the light you are looking at, it can replace the original flat glass lens or fit over it. You unscrew the metal ring that holds the lens over the LED bulb, replace the lens with the diffuser (or put the diffuser over the lens) and screw the ring back on being sure that the rubber o-ring stays in position and the bars molded into the diffuser stay vertical. Easier to do than to explain. Pattern is quite even and spread is good for bike paths and roads. Might be a little narrow still for boonie-crashing. Preserves weather seal on the lamp if you are careful with the o-ring. not bad for five bucks!

I've ridden in light rain with no problems. It appears to be plenty water resistant to me. I wouldn't be hesitant to ride in the rain with it for sure. By the way, it is VERY bright with 180 degree visibility. My favorite rear light is the VIS 180 from L&M;, but for the money this sucker is hard to beat. It also has a great battery.

Hello Steve, this is not a good choice for low-light conditions. It only works in daytime, or indoors with good lighting.

I put it right under my seat bag on my road bike. It is a tight squeeze, but it works. The light is plenty bright to still be seen in dark conditions. The light attached with an 'S' hook. You pull each side of the light around and latch it in the hook.

You can attach a light or reflector to the bag, on the black loop about 3" below the logo. You probably can't fit both the bag and reflector on your seatpost.

Not sure what exactly you mean but I would suggest tightening the light and taping the metal peice that holds the lense in place so it doesn't rattle loose. Also the part where the light snaps into the mount tebds to connect loosely. You could try taping it or permenently gluing it in place in order to fix the loose connection. Also be aware that there is no indicator that warns you of a low battery so always hace it charge over night before you use it. Otherwise you might wind up ob the otherside of town and have the light suddenly go black like I did. Not fun riding along a busy road with no front light. That was an interesting ride home to say the least. I'm just glad it died before I hit the offroad trail around the lake that I had planned on riding around!

yes, absolutely you can. I discovered that it is quite powerful even in daylight, so now when I bike in town if I'm riding on roads (and not on the numerous ally ways in my town) I use the flashing red rear lite from this item every time I go out, night or day. I've started to use the flashing front LED light as well. Cars need to see me if I'm on the road.
