I have decided that a replacement set of lights are necessary for this year’s winters commute.
Last winter I used 2x Tesco 3 watt torches and while they provided sufficient light during the hours of darkness with clear conditions when the weather closed in and the roads where wet they did not inspire confidence. They are excellent for in town commuting but not really sufficiently powerful for the majority of my rural commute.
My commute of 10 miles, each way, is on unlit B class and single track roads (lots of pot holes, sheep and tractors) with approximately 1 mile of the journey being on yellow sodium lit roads. I also think that lights to be seen by in moderate to poor visibility during daylight hours are important so a flashing option is a supplementary requirement.
I have a budget of £200 and based on what I have read Ay-Ups (V Twin Sports kit) appear to fit the bill, unless someone with a far great knowledge can point me towards an alternative purchase ?
