fibreflare for me, it’s nowhere near as bright as some but the 360 degree light and it’s size make it very effective IMO. I really don’t see the point in trying to blind car drivers as they come up behind you.
I use a Smart Lunar R2 with a wide Cateye 5 LED one (can’t remember it’s name). I use the R2 flashing and the Cateye on constant. Just bought some rechargable batteries too, so i can keep them topped up.
A mate of mine has one of those Moon Comet lights and they are very bright.
Another mate has got an Exposure Flare and that’s very bright too.
As above somewhere, probably best to ride with at least 2 rear lights so you have some redundancy should the batteries in one die. I keep meaning to get some of those reflective bands too for my ankles….
Hope district user here, if it’s too bright turn it to the lower setting. I’d rather use something that makes sure I’m seen than one which “might” be seen;. Also gives the bonus of one battery running both front and back lights.
Worth having a look at the SeeSense light on Kickstarter. I’ve backed it.
I have a FibreFlare that fits nicely on my Camelback and a Smart 1w attached to my seatpost. I think the more light the better – no matter how much you have there’s always someone that doesn’t see you so in my mind more visibility the better.
Cateye TL1100 on the seatpost and fibre flare on the offside seatstay.
The cateye is great because you have the option of flash and constant in one light and its very bright. I’ve been using a pair for around 5 years and they’ve been faultless.
