Bike Lights

[maklabouhlel]

Can someone please recommend me some front and back rechargeable bike lights which can be easily transferred between two road bikes?

 

[Shamrock]

I can recommend Lezyne lights (and pumps).

EDIT: You appear to have removed your original £50 budget. My recommendation of Lezyne still stands but perhaps you can like higher up the range.

What do you want them for. To be seen with or also to see with. Bit of a difference, really.

I think i'm set on these, be seen and light the road.

Cheap but they do get very good reviews.

I'm amazed a set of half-decent 18650 cells could be had that price, let alone the battery pack and light!

Chinese lumens and Chinese mAh, also, expect the battery pack to blow a hole in your leg when it vents.

I'd recommend a Moon XC 850, nice and bright, I've had mine 2 years and it's been battered, abused but never misses a beat

£90 more though

I have a friend who has the 2 bulb version and he hasn't been exploded after a year or so.

Can the rear light attach onto a saddle bag? Or do I need to get creative with zip ties?

Was about to post about lights in the main thread as I need a backpack clip on light and a clip on light for my saddle bag (topeak aero).

I think it's probably meant for the seat post or seat stays. I'm not sure which lights are good for mounting on saddle bags or backpacks.

Smart Lunar rear light will also clip onto a saddle bag if it has a clippy bit, which the topeak wedge bags do.

so far I'm very impressed with them for the money, really bright, build seems good, cable routing is fine. Rear light also seems fine and is thrown in. Tried in the garden last night but wasn't dark enough this morning but have no worries about them not lighting the way well enough.

Got them from ebay in the end, few quid cheaper. Will see how they do over the winter.

I always read mixed things about the battery (mainly negative) but my Solarstorm X2 has been fine. Only issue is that the battery level tends to sit on full (3) for ages, briefly goes to 2 then drops straight to 1. Never been let down by it though and it lasts well between charges.
