Which rear light is best please?

[AuraTodd]

I have my eyes on two rear lights:

The Smart Lunar R2 and the
RSP Astrum

Which is the better quality one please?

 

[Trevrev]

I have the Smart Lunar R. Very very bright.
Which is what i was after.......It's not bad quality. I assume the R2 will be just as bright.

Buy both and tell us, you can never have too many lights.

Both those lights are very good. I've got an Astrum, but it's blown away by two Magicshine rears though !

The Smart range as amazing. This is the one I use

I have a smart 1/2w that isn't particularly waterproof - a common problem.

The RSP Astrum has 2 x 1/2w LEDs & another flashing pattern.

The Smart has an additional mount to fit it to the seat stays, but I would go for the Astrum. It's only £10 too.

Is the Smart Lunar R2 waterproof?

Mars Blackburn 3.0 and a Fibreflare for me.

Agree with the comment

"Buy both and tell us, you can never have too many lights"

That's the one I've got. It's pretty good.

+1.

I have 2 of those. One on each seat stay.

Quite right, you should always have at least 2 rear lights (so that when one fails unexpectedly you still have a light).

I have the Smart one, which is very bright, and a Cateye LD610 which is less bright.

Smart Lunar R1 1/2 watt 3 led on flashing and a Smart Polaris R 7 led on steady both mounted on the offside seatstay.

Personally I think the R2 is too bright, especially for other following cyclists.

Hi

I use two RSP Astrum's and I'm really happy with them. They are very bright and I get given plenty of room when being over-taking on some recent night rides that I have been doing. Recommended.

I now have the RSP Astrum .. and hoped it would fit my rear pannier bracket that I have for the Smart 1/2 one - found out that it doesn't when it bounced out... so I must get around to fitting the bracket to the stem of the bike.

I have two Smart Lunars on the seat post, one steady, one flashing - very bright indeed.
