Rider Visability
Hi folks, I need your help.
Last year I saw a reflective product and thought "that's brilliant", thought I'd saved the link but hadn't. I've been desperately trying to find it ever since.
Product Description.
A short round baton covered in Scotchlite (or similar) with a short lanyard and clip on the top. The Idea being that you would attach this baton to your backpack or seat and it would move in a random way making it stand out more than a fixed reflective.
Does anyone have any ideas?

This is a reflector that also has an LED light with on/off function so you can use only the reflector aspect or continuous or blinking (slow or fast) if you want the LED light. Don't know if you can get it through the UK branch of Amazon though.

Nope! Wasn't a flare, it was definitely a reflective not a flare or light. Part of the reason I thought it was so brilliant was that it required no power.
The Proviz flare has the clip to get the sway for extra attention that you mention:

Probably cheaper elsewhere.
I would go with what mooleur has linked. The flare.
What you are describing sounds like one of those nasty Chinese product or something you would find at an airport
Ohhh yeah I remember that, though wasn't it a light? Something like this? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/fibre-flare-ultimate-safety-rear-tail-light-single/
