So, I’m looking for front and rear lights for commuting, to avoid the “I didn’t see you” defence. Can any commuterists make practical recommendations?

Thanks 🙂

Moon Xpower + shield combo. Not cheap, but very bright 🙂

Sorry mate, lights won’t help with that!

These cheap eBay lights are great flashers (front ones). Make all the reflective street signs pulse brightly as you approach.

Wot Woody dun sed upp their.

From that very shop as well!

£85 on lights these days? Not necessary. Not necessary at all.

£4

£20

= about £30 inc P&P for mucho brightness. (Or get 3 of the planet x lights and put em all over your back!)

I have a rear of one of these: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/lezyne/zecto-drive-front-light-ec052666

It would fit your bill. It’s bright enough that I have a concern I may look closer to a following car than I am, ending up sideswiped in a misjudged overtake.
