"The Rackstar offers a practical lighting solution for cyclists who use rear cargo racks. This tail light mounts directly to the reflector eyelets on most carrier racks, so it sits out of the way of seatpacks, panniers, or other accessories that typically attach to the seatpost."
"When compared to standard taillights, the new Rackstar light is a much larger size. This helps to provide increased visibility for added safety. The built-in reflector component meets EU safety standards, giving riders both active lighting and passive reflection in a single unit."
"The Rackstar's battery life stands out with a claimed 200-hour run time between charges. This extended runtime reduces the frequency of charging and helps ensure the light won't die during longer rides or multi-day trips. PDW says that the Rackstar's large size helps to get a bigger battery that enables a long run time."
Portland Design Works introduces the Rackstar taillight, designed specifically for cyclists using rear cargo racks. The light mounts directly to reflector eyelets on carrier racks, positioning it away from seatpacks and panniers. Its larger size compared to standard taillights increases visibility for improved safety. The unit combines active lighting with passive reflection, meeting EU safety standards. The Rackstar features an impressive 200-hour battery runtime in dance mode, reducing charging frequency for longer rides and multi-day trips. Priced at $30, it offers USB-C charging, low battery warnings, and multiple modes including steady, flash, and dance settings at 15 lumens.
