lights

any body got or seen these ?

My Hope front light has always been a bit hit 'n' miss as to whether it will work in high power mode, and somewhat unreliable in general, so I'm looking to replace it with a USB rechargeable front light. I've looked at a few and the Bontrager Ion 700 R USB Front Light seems to do well in...

Too bright front lights in another thread reminded me I've seen a handful of rear lights recently which I regard as too dim. I suspect I may have one, an otherwise neat little Lezyne light which has a reflector about the size of a 2p piece. It's hard to judge, short of propping the bike up in...

I live in a rural area which has popular routes for cyclists. I often come across cyclists with front lights adjusted such that they shine horizontally, which can dazzle oncoming traffic. This might be fine in daylight, but IMO it is hazardous at night. Yesterday evening, I was driving my car...

I really like these lights but they do have an awful flaw - if you ever drop one there is a very high chance that the somewhat delicate rear bit of the body will break on the edges, meanng that it will no longer stay on the mount. Just broken my third one after a very low speed bike fall on...

So I'm aware that it's allowed to go through a broken traffic light but when is a traffic light judged to be broken. Near Selhurst Park, the current sequence is Crystal Palace bound traffic, green man, Crystal Palace bound traffic, green man, CP bound traffic, Croydon bound traffic. Repeat...

I was just wondering how many members here use the bike lights in the day light. I certainly do because it just makes you stand out that little better. After all motorcyclist,s do as many cars too. I have a set of Cob lights from Aldi and they are very bright and noticeable and day light. I use...

Hi I'm looking at switching to dynamo powered lights, can any Busch & Müller light owners tell me if they come with the wiring needed or do I need to buy that as extra? Also is 50 lux sufficient for unlit county roads at a modest pace? These are the lights I'm considering; B&M IQ2 Eyc (50 lux)...

I was waiting about 6 cars back on a single lane residential street with no cycle lane or cycle area at the lights. Couple of cyclists weaved past me and the 5 or 6 cars in front and got to the front and then were straight out of the blocks on amber. Of course the cars behind them were soon...

Where can I buy really cheap, but still useable cycle lights? Halfords? Wilkinsons? B&M? Which are the cheapest available on the high street / internet? Ideally with AA or AAA batteries rather than button, but not essential.

I am looking to change my torch light to a proper bike light. I am looking for something with a decent level of brightness, 4 hours run time and under £100. I am sure I have seen someone with a dual led light where one could be on and the other flashing. Does anyone know what this could have...

I ride to work a few times a week, mainly along cycle track from Chester to Flint, and as the mornings are now a tad on the dark side lights are the order of the day. I like to think of myself as a considerate cyclist so when I see another cyclist I cover my front light a little so I don't blind...

I have never had any lights on my bike but for this coming winter with the dark gloomy days i thought i would buy some for safety reasons. These would be for daytime only so a case of being seen rather than lighting up a dark road. I don't want to spend a lot and i have seen these from lezyne...

I love knogg lights, they're so cute and funky. I have a little one with a loveheart as a second light on the front and it makes me smile. I have a more substantial, less funky, knogg for the rear too, but I need a "proper" front light now. Is a knogg good enough? I'm only riding on well lit...

The O ring holding my rear light to the seatpost has just failed - in the house fortunately. Looking on line for a replacement I see they come in various materials. Which is best for this job, or does it matter? I assume they are not really designed for this purpose anyway.

Anyone got one of these spare that they don't use/want? Cheers, MBE.

It's that time of year again. "What lights?" is asked. "To see or to be seen with?" is the response. "It depends on beam pattern and lumens and how many strava segments you have ridden..." Nobbery.

I'm looking for a decent front light to go with my eBay purchased Cree powered crazy light. Requirements are for a light to see by on semi-unlit roads but mainly as a backup. I previously had an old cateye el135 I think it was which did this well (about 4 years old). Ideally around 30quid but...

Don't want to go over old ground really but does anyone know of any prosecutions where legal vs illegal lights has been highlighted? I know that it could be if a sharp lawyer looked into it very closely but couldn't a valid defence be that almost all bike lights sold in the UK do not conform to...

Could members recommend legal (Conforming to British Standards) front and rear lights and suppliers (preferably not too dear ! ) .I have trawled through old posts and found this very useful guide line ,but references to specific makes and shops (or online suppliers) seem sparse ...

Hi all, My Exposure Sirius appears to have an internal connection issue causing the light to go on and off despite the LED being lit at the back. If I shake it I can feel the battery is loose inside. Should be an easy fix if only I can work out how to open the damn thing without taking an...

Hi all, Anyone got any recommendations for led front and rear lights? I'm looking for lights that are more for being seen in night time traffic and visible from a wide range of angles. Also for lights that can stay on when the Brompton is folded. Any ideas?

how long does a full charge last on the 1000l version and how long does it take to charge? i commute for about 3 hours each day so i need it to last longer than that and to be able to charge overnight. your experience would be useful to know as i'm considering buying one after my lezyne micro...

I`m looking at getting something tough and durable for a lot of unlit winter commuting. I`ve made do with the Chinese cree lights for the last 4-5 years and have had enough of repairing them and re-building the battery packs. I`ve heard some good feedback about Exposure headlights, but not...

Hi chaps Following a crash, all that was, somewhat miraculoulsy, damaged was the rear bit of my Smart Lunar front light: http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LISMLU60/smart-lunar-60-lux-front-light I have several of these lights in various strengths and have pretty much standardised on them, apart...
