Default Rear Light

Hit the big five zero in a couple of weeks and the present Mrs Salt is
treating me to a new rear rack.Decided on the Tubus Cosmo ( stainless steel
one ).There is a plate to attach a rear light but my present lights fixing
bolts are 80mm apart and the fixing holes on the new rack are 50mm apart (
new standard apparently ) so it looks like a new light.I thought about
drilling the rack to fit this one ,but its new,might make a b******s etc.

Has anyone any recommendations for rack rear lights,not dynamo just
batteries.Have looked at Busch & Muller ones but there is nowt better than a
personal recommendation.Bike is a Galaxy by the way.

I've got one of these as a main rear light attached to the rack on Gino.

See

http://www.gearshift.co.uk/acatalog/info_B902R4.html

Basta Automatic Rack Light £18.00
It has automatic on/off when ambient lighting and movement permit.,Suits racks
with 50mm drillings. Has integral rear reflector.

It is a very bright rear light. I also use a bog-standard BS rear light, lots
of reflectors and flashing LED.

The offspring has one on his rack on his tourer. Which is how I found out just
how bright the light is, as he sped off into the distance in front of me...

Cheers, helen s
