Can anyone share their experience with a rear rack mounted tail light? (lemmy.ca)

I've got a new rack for my bike, and while I have the option to swap in the large rear reflector from my old one, I'd like to get a mounted light instead.

I'm currently using either clip on or strap mounted lights, and take them off my bike when not in use, so they don't get stolen or to recharge them.

I like the idea of a more permanent light on the rear rack.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. Currently looking at the "Planet Bike Grateful Red" light.

You're right about brightness. I use the Olight RN120 (120 lumens) and i couldn't imagine something that's a fraction of the output.

The solas 250 looks pretty nice, too.
