Rechargeable clip on rear light

[Nibor]

Hi Guys as the title suggests I am looking for a rear light which is rechargeable but also has a clip to attach it to my carradice SQR Tour bag.

The Lezyne Zecto appears to have these features but reviews complain the charging port can be a little delicate/ temperamental.

Any other suggestions gratefully received.

I think some of the Cateye lights come with suitable clips, but the Niterider and Smart lights I've actually used for this purpose. I use the AAA version of the Smart (linked above), but there is a USB version as well now.

I've been using that for the last 18 months (attached to a carradice bag loop at times). Never had a problem with the charging port, and it's definitely been manhandled over that time!

I like the Lezyne Zecto - never had any trouble with it other than it's not an 'all night' light - it won't last the Dunwich Dynamo for example. As a convenient, rechargeable, get-you-home on a dark night or in winter twilight it's perfect imo.

Looks like the Zecto is worth a punt then thanks

other than it's not an 'all night' light.

That's true - lasts 3-4 hours, but not a lot more than that.

Smart R2. Great light lights. The plastic retaining on the sides can be a bit brittle in sub zero temperatures.

Interesting review of rear lights here.

Iv'e got a rear genuine Zecto and it has been a good light. Charging port was tempremantal but sent it back to Lezyne and they replaced the USB cable and its been good from that point onwards.

Chinese copies of the Zecto are about £7-8 and work a treat. Ours have been covered in mud and soaked but still going strong. See below for a quick review

Cheers @Jody very useful especially the picture of the clip which looks very robust.

I use a Cygolite Hotshot (you charge it with a USB cable) .... I used it all last winter and it's brilliant .... not cheap though, but very bright:

I have been using one of these for a couple of years, it has great battery life, and a strong clip. I put sellotape around the joint between the rear and the red clear plastic front, and I recharge it on the PC. It is very bright indeed.

Moon Nebula!! Bright as fook, I've run mine for 15hrs solid, recharges via micro USB, small, great design. Better than anything I've used so far (I'm an old bastard now!!!)

Yup I have this light and yes the charging port is a pain. I had to find another lead to get it to charge properly
