As title.

My commute is both urban and rural (as in unlit). The Lumi LED is great on the bars now the light has gone, but I’d like something on the lid to “point” at drivers.

I did consider a Joystick, but talked myself out of needing so much power.

So, suggestions? Needs to be lightweight and bright enough to catch attention.

couple of cheap little flashy things from tesco – 2 front/1 rear works for my helmet.

I use one of those Tesco red ones on the back of my lid.

Do you think similar up front will be enough beyond the Lumi?

I’m really impressed with my Light & Motion Vis 360, it’s not cheap but there’s a lot of thought gone into the design. The only problem I’ve found so far (apart from the price) is the inability to turn off the back light when riding in a group offroad (but I suppose it’s sold as a commuting light so that’s not really what it’s designed for).

I use to have one of the Knog lights on my helmet. Just a single LED, but meant I was a bit more visible.

Well thats hard to say really – it works well for me and they are bright wee lights. I have the tesco white one on each side of my lid and a red on the back.

Dibbs – £150 RRP retail? Might as well by a Joystick for that and use it as a helmet light for MTB night riding…!

Think I’ll get some cheapo twinklies and see how I get on.

Fair point.

Like the idea of going on the side, as that means you get some side on visibility too. Good thinking.

I find a light on each fork leg works well too, yeh I look like a christmas tree but it’s dark and I need to be seen.

I have a Joystick but use a Cateye EL410 on the commute helmet. As you said, just need it to be seen rather than blind people.

Going to do that too. Currently feeling a bit vulnerable, in spite of Lumi up front, handgrenade at the back and flashy reflective ankle and wrist bands.

Might also find a clip on rear light to hang off the pocket on the rucsac cover (Hump).

Andy – looks interesting. Is it light enough?

black baseball cap?

Dibbs – £150 RRP retail?

Yep, I said it wasn’t cheap, 😀 but it is very good, Amber side repeaters on the front and rear lamps and USB charging, so when I get to work they charge my lights for me 😉

Andy – looks interesting. Is it light enough?

Yep, light as in weighs very little – certainly less than a joystick 🙂

.. easily bright enough as in visible from 1 mile away (flashing or highest steady setting) nice narrow beam that’s good for pointing at people without blinding them.
