Daylight running lights - what to go for?

Having had a daylight SMIDSY today, any fekkin' light* you like, they will still pull out on you.

*(Bontrager Ion 100 on random flash mode and 6' rider wearing bright orange jacket with orange coloured bike. The Bontrager lights are great.)

I'm using a Trace/TraceR combo, Trace mounted underneath my garmin using a k-edge combo mount and a 76projects gopro to trace mount.

Have it mounted underneath because otherwise the light has too much bleed around the edges and flashes in your eyes a little at night, bit of tape across the top edge sorted this but I like nice neat handlebars so the combo mount works really well for me.

Bontrager Ion 100 R fits the bill. Designed for daylight running. Works well.

The Bontrager lights are great

I use the Exposure Trace/Tracer.

Just bought a Giant Recon HL/TL 100 combo which are compact, light, multi mode, plenty bright enough and good value.

See.Sense Ace

Another vote for Exposure. I've got a Sirius front and a TraceR rear.

I've got SeeSense Ace at the moment, think they were cheaper than Exposure at the time.

Have been bombproof, though I've never bothered with the app features like theft alarm etc

+1 for Exposure Trace/Tracer.

And another vote for trace/trace-r. The pulse mode is very good

Tracr, mine is years old. Mashed the charge port, they fixed it for twelve quid.
Maybe something else is as good, but why bother, just get that.

Thanks for the responses and suggestions.

I've clocked the Bonts before and really like their form but there seem to be some reliability issues (recognising the possibility of biased, over reported negative reviews).

See Sense is one I was aware of but overlooked - when it's time for a new rear light I'll explore that option in more detail as they do look like they fit the bill.

Trace is still in podium position for me - robust, like the idea of mounting it under the Garmin (zero additional bar space needed), reliable and with the option to get it repaired if needed.

Another exposure user here, love the under garmin mount for the front Trace and picked up the seat rail mount for the rear one, bike looks tidy with them both mounted.

Exposure TraceR and an Axis at the front. Axis is probably overkill, but I run it in low mode which gives more than enough run time for a long road ride, and I’m not buying another light just for the sake of it.

+1 Exposure.

The Bontrager ION are good. On the front I use a Moon MX which has an integrated Garmin/Wahoo mount. The buttons are overly complicated but it is a good light with long run times.

Lezyne Zecto Drive 250's - much brighter than the 80.

Just in case there aren’t enough votes already, Exposure Trace/R 👍
