As long as I breathe, I attack.
I have a light on each pannier hung on the loop, i have not lost one yet .With the main rear light on the seat post i find this gives me a wider foot print of light compared to just 1 light and i cant remember the least time i got a close overtake at night.

Cheers for all the replies all, especially Zigzag and Gaz for the photos. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words!

Shall look into getting another Horizontal strip light for the seat post and then mount the current cat eye on the saddle bag. I shall leave the reflector off, the Cateye I have at the minute has a built in reflector and I have no more room around the seat post area due to mudguards on the rear wheel.

Thank you all again.

I cable tied a 'tube' onto my pannier bag to fit two of my lights - dead easy - 25mm plastic pipe, two bar end caps and a bit of black gaffa tape.

Here we go - you can just see the bottom of the cable ties - drilled two holes through the tubes wider than the strap and threadded through.

Blimey, they wouldn't miss you on a dark night!
i've litterally just ordered a rack mount kit for my cateye, thus i'll have one on my seat tube, one on my rack and one on my pannier bag (offside)

There are more now. The astrum's bracket broke, so replaced with two Smart super flashes on the rack.

Oh plenty of folk still don't see properly.

Nothing like bodging brackets and making mounts for stuff. :thumbsup:
