Hi All,
I was cycling home last night and the guy in front of me had a flashing rear light however as we slowed for a junction it went solid like a brake light, then went flashing again as he sped up. I followed him for a few miles however he never fully stopped so i didn't get a chance to ask him what it was.
Has anyone seen this before/ does anyone know who makes it? I'm in the market for a new rear light and it seemed like a cool idea.

Is this it? Seems pretty well priced considering its got this 'Kinetic technology' ( i love the marketing terms) and if it was the one i was following it was bright enough. Might drop by after work and have a look.0 -

Lupine do the rotlicht which also works the way you've described. About £75 mind.0

I had a set of lights that did this a few years ago. They were magnetic dynamos with a magnet on the wheel passing by the light made it flash. It would stay lit for about 2 minutes when you stopped. Pretty old tech tbh0
