"I think it's a great idea.
I wish it was mandatory! A friend in the states was rear-ended in a hit-and-run accident. His brain damage is so severe he's wheelchair-bound, needs 24/7 care, and can barely communicate. This could have prevented that."

"There is nothing like this on our light racks. I commute everyday. This is an idea that I'm surprised didn't come sooner."

I'm tired of seeing accidents that could have been prevented. Seriously, this is the best light I've used. It'll keep most of you out of my emergency room, got it?
Active Cyclist
This is an excellent bike light. I was skeptical that it would actually detect braking, but it actually does. Every time. I ride with my kids a lot, and they really like to just stop for no good reason.
