Please recommend a rear light

[jazzkat]

I did a search but got bored by page eight! So apologies if this has been discussed and please point me in that direction.

My rear light has died due to the ingress of water. I wan't something small and bright so I can use it for TTing too.
This is my old one

Any thoughts?

I use a pair of Cateye LD150's, but they seem to be discontinued now with this in it's place:

Very good brightness, I'm well pleased with them.

I have one of these http://www.charleysbikeaccessories.co.uk/products/lezyne-zecto-drive-led-rear

It as a good range of modes and charges off USB.

For something cheap and cheerful but very bright, the Phaart Bleep from On One/Planet X.

Exposure flare. 75 lumens and can be saddle rail mounted, ideal for TTing.

I am pleased with mine, so much so I have bought another.

I run a pair of Smart Lunar R2 rear Light 2x 1/2 Watt which one moton described as 'obnoxious.' I have a 12 mile commute along some very rural country lanes and a short section of unlit 'B" roads.

I have used the Smart Lunar R1 in the past but have found out to my cost that they are not very weather proof.

I have just got a moon crescent. Fairly small light but very bright. Usb rechargeable.

cateye volt 50. Rail mounted and one of the settings is steady on with brighter pulse so you get the best of both worlds. Sturdy unit & long battery life rechargeable via USB.

Me too , along with a smart r1 on each pannier bag although i found the lights to be but i do use full mudgaurds , my commute is on unlit country lanes and at one lit roundabout a driver actually pulled alongside and commented on how good my lights were.

I use Philips SafeRide lights on the front and back of my bike, and they seem pretty good — especially the rear one.
