Selling my seat post mount version of the Supernova Taillight.  Still brand new in box.

Sells for 80 plus shipping through Peter White, selling this one for 70 shipped in the US.

I believe from reading the description on the PW site that this tail light is only to be used in conjunction with a supernova headlight.

Zack: If the only reason it can't be used with other lights is the
wiring, as I believe from reading the PJW site, I'll buy it and hack a
connection. Thanks, Patrick

Zack -- I just did some research and discovered the reason why it is
incompatible with other headlights: While all LED headlights have a
device that converts the AC power of the dynamo to the DC power needed
by LEDs, the Supernova does not convert it back to AC when it
transmits it back to the tail light, which thus gets a DC feed. Other
lights (so I read) convert dc back to ac when transmitting to the tail
light so that you can use incandescent tail lights with these LED
headlights.

So, thanks but I won't be able to use it with my Edeluxe without modification.

No sweat! 

Good to know the reason behind the incompatibility.

I'll knock 10 off this, 60 dollars!  Quite a deal.
