Yup... here we go.

SuperBrightLEDsis where I got these two:

AndGalls has this one for $60.

I've noticed the Portland Police have these mounted as secondary stoplights on their bikes...

They are bright... but a little big.
We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

The only thing I don't like about those is that you have to position it properly (vertical wise) in order to get people to notice it, otherwise it will be a faint line of red LED's.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

On my bike, it's perfectly aimed at tailgating SUV-driving jerks, so it fulfills the exact role I bought it for. I can certainly see how it may require tweaking on different bikes, though.

When I place that on my sissy bar bag I have to make sure that it points a bit upward... pics coming soon.

Check out the SOLAS on that Aerostitch page, it's highly reflective.
