I have a decent Gloworm front light with separate battery pack for proper night rides, but looking for something smaller as a get-me-home option when I stay out a bit later during after work summer rides.

Bought a Moon Meteor Storm Pro off Amazon in their recent sale but haven't opened it yet. Any other options to consider in the sub-£100 category? Realistically only need 1,000 lumens max with a nice simple interface (the Moon seems a bit complicated with tons of options and settings).

Exposure Sirius. Only 850 lumens but used one for commuting and that was great.

Stick with the moon. I've got one or a similar model and it's simple enough for a bozo like me. The bar and helmet mounts are solid and it's more than bright enough for your circumstances.

The moon has 3 normal settings and a boost one, if you use the remote it's easy

Came in to say 'Something by Moon', which it turns out you already have.

Thanks @davros / @bikerevivesheffield that's all I needed to know. Read a couple of reviews of the Moon online that said it was fiddly and complicated to use but trying it now it's no more or less complicated than my Gloworm. Bit of a bargain at £64. Nice to see the mounting bracket fits 35mm bars too.

The button sequence on the moon is a little un-intuitive, but fine when you done it a few times. The light itself is robust, bright and cheap.

I was coming to suggest a moon meteor, excellent light and just about ok as a full night riding one too - I managed 10 hours of Strathpuffer with one.
