New version "coming soon"
Postby Byke » Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:32 pm
David Bastian from NiteFlux posted on 4 October on Adelaiade Cyclists:
We are making a new version that is optimised for seat-post use. it will be a different shape and made of different materials. It will be even easier to see from all angles, will have a longer runtime and be all-round better for seatposts. We will continue to produce the current shape version for backpacks (although this seems to be the minority use for this light).
This new version is 95% finished and is with the tool-maker for production tooling right now. We are encouraging anyone who has problems with their light from seatpost use to wait for the new version which will be out soon.

Damn I'm gonna have to get myself one of these, too.
Current version is great, but I do find the lack of a seat post clip annoying. Sadly I don't have the macgyver knowledge to put one together.

Those holes in the casing - were they already there or did you put them in? And they are 24mm apart. Are there similar holes at the other end? If so how far apart are they in the other axis?

Now just need to find a supplier for the light. Searches show lots of reviews, videos, testing and Niteflux's own webpages, but no-one seems to be selling it

I'm waiting on a response (email) from their sales team.
