Lights

Boring question time! Can anyone reccomend some good rechargeable aaa batteries? Brightness is more important than long lasting if that makes any difference.

I have no experience of the eneloop batteries but would expect them to be similar to the hybrio.

Yep. Cannot wait to try it. Charging as we speak (type)

Not looking back since I bought an Exposure front light. By far the best light ever.

andy_k did you manage to mount the Moon Comet to the rack? I'm also looking for a USB rack light. If you were successful a picture would be appreciated. Cheers.

Great - thanks. I have miraculously found my receipt so fingers-crossed.

Yes... following the suggestion by @mdcc_tester and a bunch of zip ties...

Not as slick as Moon's soon to be released offering, but considerably cheaper!

Not exactly what I had in mind, but if it works it works :-)

Fuck £10 for that. I bought spare saddle rail mounts for ~£3.50 a piece, the carrier adapter should be £1.99 unless they supply Ti bolts with it.

As long as it lasts for a week... I need to head back to my parents and grab a 5-hole version of this then bolt the top part of the saddle rail mount through it and then just a couple of zip ties to stop any rotation.

@mdcc_tester you think that's bad?

but it get's worse?

Considering getting a Moon Meteor, can any users on here comment on its suitability for unlit road riding pls?

Lezyne Micro read, when charging just shows solid green, and now won't switch on. Have tried the oyster card reset, any other suggestions?

They're decent for unlit road riding, just remember to charge them regularly.

Cheers Ed.

I recently picked up a light and motion 800 combo. I'm pretty impressed with both front and rear lights, I think they're quite expensive, but I like that they charge using micro USB chargers, same as my phone. They're waterproof, the beam pattern is good, and the battery life is decent. I just hope they last, I was similarly impressed with my Lezyne macro drive rear when I first got it but now the battery barely lasts 1 hour.

Neatest feature is the amber side LEDs on both front and rear light. They definitely enhance side on visibility.

Thanks Andy much appreciated.

can anyone recommend a bottle dynamo and lamp light?
is a £4 dynamo a no-no? http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/dynamos-bottle-dept208_pg1/
the lumotec classic looks lovely: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/lighting-bottle-roller-dynamo-front-dept117_pg1/#order=PRICE DESCENDING

Considering getting the Leyzne KTV light set. It has a built in usb to charge and connect directly into a laptop. Does anyone know if you can still charge it with a micro USB cable (as I won't always have a laptop with me)?

Pic of it can be found below

I presume you could just use one of these and an appropriate mains to USB plug.

Depending on the lights plug you may need a different size of female end.

ah didn't think of that...hm... one more wire to bring a long ugh - deal breaker for me

My moon comet just died after less than 6 weeks. A shame as it's a neat and bright little light.

I've not tried but you probably don't need a cable, it should fit into the usb to mains plug directly?

That's out of character for Moon, and unacceptable for any consumer durable.

Included in the sale of goods legislation is a section on burden of proof³...
• Where faulty goods are returned within the first six months of purchase, the consumer
has the benefit of a presumption that the goods were faulty when delivered.
³Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002

TL;DR - take it back to where you bought it, they must refund, repair or replace.
