I couldnt find a comparison of how bright / broad they were but those prices I thought I'd get one of each.

I have no idea how long they'll last: but usually I'll loose them before they die.

Should be obvious which is which.

I'm happy with mine, they survived all of last winter ok. I've got the one second from the left and the right most one too.

I really couldn't ask for more from a rear light.

I've got one on each bike. For £2 each (couple of years ago) it seemed a no brainer. Saves me having to swap lights around.

I've got the right most one I think? 2x 0.5W LED?

I always lose them before the battery's go flat . I've now got the tube shape ones and for a couple of quid you can't beat them .[img]http:// [URL= http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v734/vwempi/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-09/20140916_190326.jp g" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v734/vwempi/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-09/20140916_190326.jp g"/> [/IMG][/URL][/img]

I'm pretty sure the 5 LED one is as near as possible a clone of a cateye 610. Its certainly as bright and the modes are the same. Maybe it wont last as long though.

The 60 lumen rechargeable 'shield' one looks identical to a moon light at double the price.
