Yes, sadly it's true, the
THE brightest bike taillight ever made is now out of production. The
On-Line Store! will remain online for documentation/accessories/support, etc. It's been a good run over the last 4 years, and I'm infinitely grateful for all of my fantastic customers, who have allowed me to develop the DS-500/1300. The bar for taillight performance has been raised significantly as a result. If you want to join the list of registered forum users to join in the conversation, please drop me an email at

Thanks to everyone who's voted so far! I've heard you and am working hard to bring the lights...
- Check out the new On-Line Store!
- Drop me an email at [email protected] and let me know if you have any questions.
*Builds 1 and 2 were permanently sealed. However, with the introduction of the user-replaceable lens design in build 3, I felt the need to change the spec from "water proof" to "highly water resistant." The lights will ship with a a high degree of "water-proofness," but care must taken to ensure a good seal if the lens cover ever needs to be removed. In practice this just means you have to be careful not to get dirt and dust on the o-rings.
^As tested by Lupine's integrating sphere. Build 4 may be even higher...
