Brompton Tail Light Modification

Planet Bike blinkie blinky tail light modification for a Brompton folding bike
My husband’s only complaint about his Brompton has been the stock lighting system. He tried to use it for a while but eventually stripped it all off. It just wasn’t worth the hassle.
I’d like him to use more lights on his bike, so when I saw this clever Brompton set-up I took photos for him. Then I realized that some of you might be interested too.
At first I thought it was a DIY bracket, but after visiting Bikes Not Bombs I saw that they sell a Planet Bike rack bracket for the Planet Bike light, and that must be what we see here.
What is important, and may not come across in the photos, is that the light is low profile enough that it’s protected by the wheels on the rack and does not need to be removed to fold the bike.
