The 180 is well worth the money IMHO, especially if you shop around.
Where are you looking? Wiggle is 87 with my discount i think.
Can't count the times I've seen drivers head straight at the back of a bike, only braking & swerving out just before contact (plenty this autumn, already). The late braking tells me that they didn't know what the bike was but they ain't being extra careful.
Think that is just the poor driving standars that abound these days 🙄
I have 3 rear lights(all cheapos) 1 in/on helmet, 1 on bag and 1 on bike + some reflective stuff and generally find cars give me plenty of room from the rear with the odd exception as per above. Not worried too much about front light, just try not to put myself in a position where drivers cannot see me and ride appropriately for the road/traffic conditions. 30 odd yrs commuting through town with very few incidents.
Any Lumicycle users tried their matching rear light?
Half my commute is unlit country roads, and so I'll be using my Lumi LED3 up front. Figured it might be useful to add the Lumi tail light via the second battery lead.
OMITN - I have an old (4 yrs)one (don't know whether it has been upgraded in the interim) - wouldn't recommend for the price as it does not seem that bright, does not flash and the bracket is not adjustable so it points slightly down when attached to a seatpost unless you bend it. However it is always there so if I forget my main rear light I have some protection.
Anyone know if the vis 180 has holes that would allow it be mounted with cable ties?
You could probably bodge it up to use cable ties, but the rubber strap is pretty secure and the light unclips leaving the bracket attached to the seatpost, meaning that you're not constantly doing and undoing the rubber strap.
mefty - fine. Happy to direct my money elsewhere. Cheers!
