Small, neat, perfectly adequate for what you describe, about £50 from Amazon

Doesn't flash, but that's really a good thing in the dark

I've been carrying the front of these not used it much but I'm quite impressed with the rear and the versatility of the strap https://www.evanscycles.com/cateye-loop-2-front-rear-rechargable-set-EV276543

Thanks, it looks too big to fit on my bars unfortunately

Is that enough as a sole light to use in traffic? They look like a secondary light option

2.5 inches long by 2 inches wide (it's pretty small)
will take a pic on the bars for comparison

I literally have about a cm for the bracket. Width restricted too. Garmin on stem

I've never read the blurb but it wouldn't be a too see light. I think I've clipped it on twice after TT's and twice on the road bike, it seems fine to me but I'm not cycling in London.

If it's "be seen", this front light from Aldi (on sale Thursday, £13) should be pretty good
https://www.aldi.co.uk/high-performance-bike-light-front/p/080231180823900
Similar to last year's (which was a Moon Nebula rip off), 240 lumens, USB chargeable
There's also a matching rear.

How do these lights fit? Horizontally or vertically? If the former, I can't see how it'll work with cross levers in the minimal space available

The exposure looks a good option, for under £40

If they are the same as last years then either way - the bracket mount is square and rubber. I'm buying another after discovering that if your orange justice leaks in your waterproof pannier and sits there a day eventually some seeps into the light ...it sort of worked till Mr Summerdays took it apart!

Do you have a photo? And would it fit given my above photo. I really have v little space!

 

[summerdays]

Ok that's last year's rear light but the light brackets were interchangeable!

 

[vickster]

Presumably it sits horizontally (I'm really crap at figuring that sort of thing out from a photo )? No go then. Thanks
