Don't blame the light. If used as designed on a mainstream *) citybike it isn't all that bad. Besides fitting it to cast a giant shadow from the wheel isn't very smart

If you want something more conventional looking go for the Cyo. If you want something for the next season order an Edelux ;)

*) ie bikes which manage to be ugly by themselves ;) -- mvg
