    Rear lights that can be mounted on seatstays and angled the way you want them.

    Hello all, Do any of you have favourite rear lights like this? I would like rear lights for my seatstays that I can angle, rather than having them point up in the air! Thanks :)

    Waterproofing water resistant lights

    Has anyone any experience of waterproofing lights that are only sold as water resistant? Currently looking at these as I have chosen to have (rechargeable) AA battery power. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Batteries-Included-Resistant-Headlight-Taillight/dp/B072FHFPW2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

    Northern lights?

    I made a time-lapse video of the view from my kitchen window. Annoyingly the snow did not last long, but there was something interesting going on in the sky the first night. Were they the northern lights?

    Would you dare to cycle with these lights lol.

    Hi again. I was doing a little Christmas shopping today when I came across some JML wheely bright lights being sold in the local shop in town. From a safety point of view they look very impressive and would be a big hit with the youngsters, but would you dare to be seen with these on your bike...

    Crowdfunding for lights

    I'm think of starting a campaign to raise money to buy lights for all of those cyclists out there who are too poor to buy lights for their bikes, and by the look of things this will be a massive undertaking. This should be of particular aid to all those in the Deliveroo community who seem to...

    I don't know if I can claim the first, but I reckon I have a good punt... Driving through Ashbourne yesterday I spied my first lot of Christmas decoration/lights... Anyone else spotted any yet!?

    It's Ninja season. Yayyyy.

    My morning commutes are starting to be 100 percent in the dark again now. Every year, without fail, it never ceases to amaze me, how many road users, fail to grasp the concept of lights. I nearly got broadsided by 2 cyclists, wearing dark clothes, and not having illuminated lights, of any...

    Front lights

    I struggled last year with several different lights, I tried a couple of Lezyne lights another brand from a friend, and I wasn't happy with any of them. Now, for a while I have been tempted by the Garmin Varia front light, and I believe it will connect with my Edge 520. They're coming down in...

    I know everyone will be starting lights threads but...

    My Dinotte 140L (rear) seems to be buggered. It's pretty old and it's been sent off to the US for repair at least once. What else is good and bright and preferably available in the UK? Seatpost mount, must be easy to switch between bikes immediately.

    Monkeylectric M133s wheel lights

    I have had this lying around for a while. They are brilliant for visibility and pretty too even at moderate speeds. But I never got round to installing it, and I am not sure I am likely to get any use out of them. I am hoping for £13.50 which I imagine works out at £10 plus delivery and...

    Ninja Cyclists / High Viz / lack of lights - your opinions please

    Hi, I use my lights day and night, bit like a motorbike. I have a flashing PDW 200 or 450 front Smart front light and use a rear Smart R1 on flash even on a lovely day. Costs me next to nothing and just seems like sense to me. Last night I was driving on a dual carriageway at 11.45PM and...

    I've fitted lights on the narrow down stays of the frame(photos).

    Using lengths of old inner tube for packing material, I've now fitted a couple of lights on the down stays. Judging by the diameter of the brackets that come with lights, I tend to think that they are all intended to be mounted on the seat post or similar. I originally had a light mounted on...

    Policeman pulls cyclist over with flashing blue lights and tells him give a bit more space
