I'm in need of a pair of lights for commuting for winter as my old ones are fine for town commuting but shitty when it comes to riding on pitch black country roads. I have offroad lights but I don't want to lug the battery pack around.
For the front I need a decent brightness light with a well spread beam so I can see the road and for the back something bright and visible but that I can mount on a clip on my saddle pack.
Any recommendations?
What's the bike? If you are riding a road/tourer then get a dynamo hub and lights - no flat batteries; no forgetting the light; etc. You'll need to either build up a new wheel or rebuild your existing wheel which does add to the cost.
Generally for commuting you want something that just "works" with as little faff as possible.
Road bike and dynamo hub isn't going to happen just yet.
