Rear light reccomendation

[Deleted member 23692]

I opted for a Lezyne after the Knog episode.

The Femto is well made good quality wee light - http://www.probikekit.co.uk/cycling-accessories/lezyne-led-femto-drive-rear/10825084.html

You'll need t 2032 batteries though but thay aren't too bad if you buy in bulk. I iuse this place - http://www.batterymarket.co.uk/adva...?keyword=maxell++2032&search_in_description=1

the Lezyne looks interesting, much cheaper then the Blinder 1, although I can get both on 25% discount at halfords. Looked at afew reviews of the Femto and it seems some people have had problems with the button not working? Not sure how common a fault that is. I like the design of the Knog Blinder 1 alot more though.

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

I have a rechargeable flare light and also a fibre flare and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I have a Moon Shield 60 with 15 months use and the battery life is now only 60% of what it was when new. This is my only issue with self contained lights. The weight and simplicity is great, so if you must buy one I'd recommend whichever has the longest run time. That way you'll still have a useable light as the battery degrades. Expect to replace them every 3 years.

After my knog failing, I've gone for a Hope District+, insane batterylife (15 hours on full power-which is fog light bright) solid fixing and a beaming reputation. It was a penny or two more than I intended to spend but I am hoping this one will last. I spent around £100 last year on rear lights, the only one still with me is an electron backup light (rechargeable)! My choice to buy the expensive district light was made largely on the secure bracket and all round life span/durability. Arrived today and I'm a happy man! The bracket is a celebration of the fact that rubber bands should only be used to tie ribbons in girls hair! I think the only way this light will fall off is if the seatpost snaps! The light itself is well designed and solid and the settings are all very usable, I can imagine situations were I might want to use all of them. The high end led's look great lit up and have a claimed lifespan of 50,000 hours...which for me I'd optimisticly estimate is at least 65 years of use (though I'm suspecting the battery won't fair well beyond 10years), that's assuming I have the light running at all times. I wanted a reliable/solid rear light but was hesitant to buy for two reasons, one cost(£144!!!!!) and two worries about it being 'too bright'. I talked myself into as it's an investment and should last; and the second worry was unfounded (unless I use the high 'fog' setting in normal visibility). It's a beautiful piece of engineering. well pleased
