Can anyone recommend a good compact rear light, are the Knog lights bright / good batt life for the size ?

I’m not commuting, just wanted something small for the odd bit of road done on our usual night rides.

Cheers.

Anything from Cateye are spot on. I use This and it’s spot on.

I picked up this Smart pair a while back as a starter light set.

The front lamp is nothing to write home about, I carry it as an emergency light cos it weighs nothing. The rear, however, is tremendous. As bright as you’d ever want in a tail-lamp and has a really eye-catching flashing pattern if that’s your bag.

i can vouch for this one too Smart light

I’m a slight fan of the Smart Lunar 1/2 Watt rear light.

In light of its cost and its performance, its a good package, imo.

Blackburn Flea is small, light and bright!

Have got a knog gekko as my usual rear light. Small, bright, takes (rechargeable) AAAs rather than the coin-types and the silicone band works well, stays put and shouldn’t break like plastic brackets tend to.

The frogs are OK but only as a backup – at this time of year I tend to leave them on my mtb in case I’ll be getting back later than planned.
