  1. Hello,

    I have a question about standlight function of Lumotec IQ Fly:
    is the light still on after I turn the lamp off? I mean, assuming that
    I first rode a bit with the lamp turned on (so that the standlight
    function gets charged) and then stopped and switched the lamp "off" -
    is the lamp still will be shining (even though switched off), until
    the standlight function is discharged?

    Also similar question about a rearlights with standlight function
    (e.g. one of Toplight family lamp). I understand there is no on/off
    switch for rearlights, so I assume the light must be shining untill it
    is discharged?

    Light attracts unwanted attention.

    Put a bloody sock over it when you park in dodgy spots.

    On the Busch & Muller 4DLite Plus taillight, you can discharge the
    capacitor by using a key or other piece of metal to bridge two metal
    contacts on the side of the light. But I've found that you have to do it
    a couple of times or the light will still glow dimly (or maybe I need to
    use a better conductor.)

    Nah. I leave my Cateye TL-LD1100 daylight flasher on and flashing away
    merrily any time I park my bike. I've stood inside the library's glass
    window looking out and seen the likely thieves eyeing my bike and then
    walking past to start fingering the bits on the next bike. A light
    makes your bike look like you're coming back to it straighaway.
