Rear light reccomendation

[Snapper88]

Hi
Sorry for a repeated question but I can't seem to find the answer to my question.
I need a new rear light. I was looking at the Moon Crescent (anyone have a review)

or any other suggestion for a rear light

thanks in advance

They look pretty good. You also have the Moon Comet rear as well.

moon comet or exposure flare
or some cheap sets from planet x the copied mars or whatever there called

I've been using one of these attached to my saddle bag for nearly 18 months in all weathers. Nice and bright.

Got one of these, stupidly bright for a few quid http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIPHBPDRL/phaart-bleep-dual-05-watt-led-rear-light

Got these also, for the money they are v good Smart Lunar R2 copies. Only draw backs are less flashing modes, really tough to open up and just not as bright as the real deal- still for a third of the price they make excellent helmet, jacket, and bag lights.

These are excellent lights and great value. I bought a few last year when they were on special offer at 99p. I wonder if they'll do that again.

No experience of the Moon Crescent but the Smart Lunar 2 is very bright and puts to shame all other rear lights I've had for a similar price.
Can be had for about £13 if you look around. Plenty of reviews on another thread on here and if you google.
Only small issue is batteries are a bit fiddly to change

Blackburn Mars 3 or 4's are good rear lights for a similar price.

The comet is a better light. I have two of them on the rear

I use a smart 1/2 watt kidney shaped rear flasher, lasts months and doesn't suffer in the UK weather.

Avoid smart lunar! I've had 3 fail due to water ingress. No issue with my Blackburn Mars 3 in last few months in all weathers.

I use the Smart superflash or kidney too. Been reliable in all weather (I have mudguards though) and can be found online now for about £8. Great value I'say.

Hi had a knog road rear light, flippin' bright but the bugger has fallen off whilst riding (on the road) Any one recomend a strong recharagable, secure rear light. It's the second Knog light I've lost with no apparent reasoning as to why. I ride unlit country lanes, A roads and in all weathers, often late at night due to work. Really want something reliable, bright and weather proof.

A smear of grease on the seal, or a bit of electrical tape, or even a squirt of bath silicone. Seems a shame to condemn a bloody good, bright, multimode light for the sake of a simple preventative measure!
