I lost my rear light on last nights ride..so need a new one, I want some thing that is easy to swap from bike to bike and must be bright with a good run time..most of my riding is off road trails but do use the roads as well to link the local trails.
So what's good at the minute what's every body using.
the one I lost was a Lezne think it was about 3 years old so not very bright..

Thanks

I like my knog blinder. Dead simple flip off clasp and USB rechargeable and plenty bright enough.

I got mine at Evans for £18 at the time. This is the cheapest I can find at the moment though.

I got a cheap Planet X jobbie, one of these [url= http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIPHBPDRL/phaart-bleep-dual-05-watt-led-rear-light ]http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIPHBPDRL/phaart-bleep-dual-05-watt-led-rear-light[/url]

Clips on the light loop of the camelbak so don't have to worry about swapping it over onto different bikes.

Moon Comet is very good and bright, the Phaart is also good and somewhat cheaper.

+1 for the Phaart light. So cheap I just bought one for each bike so no need to swap.

Got a moon comet, find the battery life, ease of use and waterproofing somewhat lacking. Got a lezyne zecto recently, very happy with that in comparison. Better range of modes, super bright and seems better built.

Also, have some of those Phart lights and they are ace for the money, hard to argue against buying one for each bike.

Got this as it was cheap, USB, is well designed enough to use with gloves on, and has no fitting that has to stay on the seatpost. Not as bright as some, but was riding with a mate who had one on alpine roads a month back, and it was plenty visible from a hundred metres or so back.
