Hi all,
I have had some issues again with lights I have bought, so will be sending them back (water getting in and some not lasting more than 40mins!)
So my question is - I have started using for the first time recently my lights on in the day time too and noticed that cars are slowing down earlier and going wider and when we go around the lake with my boys that on the pathways, people are moving a lot quicker than before - seems to be that lights do have a huge impact on how people react day and night.
I have numbered my questions and products so its easier for me to follow!!!
I have never bought named brands for lights as cheaper ones are on amazon - but I am finding now that cheap is not always good.
Thanks all.

- With this in mind, I am asking if you lot who are much more experienced that do you tend to have a light for front and back that works for both day and night cycling - or do you have lights dedicated for this?
- I am buying new now - so I have considered the Bontrager flare Ion 100 and Flare R city lights. They are small - but these seem to be be great day lights. Do these work great at night too for being seen? (I will of course use a better front light) LINK
- I have also considered the Bontrager Ion 450 R front light, but this has had so many mixed reviews. LINK
- My last one is this one is going back to Cateeye Rapid Mini rear light - does not seem as bright as others, but I guess this is still a brilliant light with lots of mounting options. Any users of this? Looking at the AMPP500 too for this. Wonder if this combo is good for day and night.
Thanks all.
