Small, Non-blinding Rear light suggestions….

[sevenfourate]

Once you get the light you desire and still think it's too bright, maybe wrap something around it?

I’d thought the same ! ❤️ I could probably do with one slightly better quality / more adjustable rear light anyway. So I guess this is it.

But yes absolutely. For the night I could get some Tint wrap from eBay.

Ride is in July, on the weekend nearest to the Full moon. And crammed with riders. As you well know Pete. Hence my need for a rider-friendly dimmer / dimmable item…

Or maybe be a total pleb like me and get a set of bike-balls..

They were still glowing when I reached the beach with one battery change IIRC

Ha !

Best mate, riding buddy or someone i stumbled upon riding at my pace: no way on this Earth would I follow that for ‘8 hours’…..

The Moon ones are very good and the mount is like a mini Garmin one; started selling them in the shop last year* and they sold pretty well and are well made.

*Incidentally to mostly replace Cat Eye as the distributor wanted the shop to take too much on for the buy-in but they are similar (if not better in some respects) to them.

This has been recommended on the Dunwich Dynamo FB Group. Apparently I’ll have “hours of fun” cycling (sic) through the different modes / variable Lumens.

Found them at Halfords where I had some vouchers. So have taken the plunge.

Cheers.

Cateye also do a little 15 lumen mini rear light. Saw it on Amazon.

Wrap some Y fronts round them. Give them a scrape and shake first else youll block all the light.

Strange as it might seem, even with so many on the ride, there were times when hardly any other riders were in view, especially out in the wilds..
Maybe there are more folk on the Dynamo now. I don't know 🤷‍♂️

It's a bit close to Sizewell to risk that kind of excretion, surely!

4000-4500 expected I believe…..

Hard to tell of course not being an official event, and with no official entry list with numbers.

The Magicshine Seemee 200 has a 'group ride mode' that drops the lumens right down ?
