  • I am struggling to search this thread properly with the new search format but would like some advice. Apologies in advance as this has probably been answered many times before.

    I need a cheap light set for my beater:
    sub £20 (they will get lost eventually, either by forgotten and left on the bike when locked and nicked or just go missing).
    Quick to snap on and off the handlebars and seatpost when locking up.
    waterproof enough to deal with Manchester's winters
    Cheap and readily available in the supermarket batteries

    Is there a generally acknowledged "best" in this category?

  • Best rear light I've had is Smart Lunar 2. It can be obtained from On-One for silly money sometimes and is not too expensive at RRP. Obviously its not as bright as the £100+ lights but it beats most cheaper ones in my opinion and has survived cycling in all weather and 2 winters.

  • If it's just to be seen, rather than for seeing most cheap ones should do. The main failing ime of the really cheap ones are the attachments, rather than the lights.

    Personally I'd get two sets. One on the bike and another on your bag. Plus the advantage of them being on your bag is you don't forget them or leave them on the bike.
