A Review of the Best Bicycle Taillights of 2012 has been posted on the Bicycles Community Blog of Stack Exchange. This is a great test that takes a look at fifteen under $40 battery tail lights and gives comprehensive results and reviews for the lights tested.

If you are shopping  for a taillight this is a great resource.

Another one of those marketing e-mails from Taiwan. This one from Linearity. A taillight with turn signals.

Seems like turn signals on a bike couldn’t work because of the close spacing. Plus, given  the bike’s position on the road a turn signal would give a car driver enough information to confuse but not enough information to act on.

This one, though, almost looks feasible. The curve on the lens and the sequence of the flashes might inform.

(Not going to pursue this for the catalog, I just think it is interesting)
