I fitted this train-tech flashing tail lamp to a mk1 full brake...
it was easy. some cutting / filing / drilling and I had to buy a smaller battery that the one it came with...
a motion sensor makes the light come on and it turns off after a few mins being stationary

The motion sensor is a neat idea - no need for switches! I would imagine this is based on the technology used for the flashing tyre valve caps that were the rage a couple of years ago.

Any idea where one can source motion sensors such as these? TIA, Brian

I am currently working on something along these lines at the moment. Can't say anything more at the moment. Biggest issue as always with N is getting something small enough to fit that is also reasonably priced.
