I have a Brompton with the handle bar extenders and I use a front bag on it.
Can anyone recommend a good front light for it please
Due to the bag, it would be much better if it could fit on the vertical bit of the handle bars possibly, but other suggestions welcome
Thanks.
Did you read through the thread? What's different regarding your needs that none of the many many lightening options that were mentioned are a fit for you and why?I have a Brompton with the handle bar extenders and I use a front bag on it.

Typically on an M, S or H if you insist on lights on the bars you use the horizontal middle part for that. An overfilled bag may partly get in the way of the light beam - which is another reason to use the position on fork crown instead. It is simply way better.None of the posts in the thread deal with the extended (M type handlebars) especially with the bag which precludes fitting a close fitting light to the lower cross beam, and not being able to fit anything to the upper horizontal sections due to being 6 speed and having gear shifters on both sides….. so essentially, i need something that mounts on the vertical stems but is suitable (or can be rotated) to have a decent horizontal spread beam….
Is that enough info?
What lights did the original poster finally go with?
Interesting. And the rear alone costs GBP19, so the GBP40 that Brompton charges for the pair seems even competitive.
I like the unobstrusive way the the Brompton front one of the "be seen" couple is mounted to the brake levers. On the rear I don't have issues - lights that mount to the seat post are plenty available for very cheap prices if I had the need.
A simple klick on knog.com would give you the answer... They do have a plenthora of lights on offer. Some are said to be good by some people but in my opinion knog is more of a design brand than an engineers brand. So personally I would not buy from them - I've learned this as an expensive lesson through supporting the Knog Oi bell on Kickstarter a couple of years ago when I ended up with an overmarketed and beautiful but utterly useless bell for a very steep price. Which now is a tad less useless than before (as actual models have been a bit improved) but at the same time way cheaper than in the Kickstarter campaign. As a result I avoid the brand completely (which may be an overreaction, but i.e. looking at their locks (that seem to have vanished from their website in the meantime) does not improve trust).Are Knog lights still available ?
