Anything on the seat post (if you have the extended one), and most 'be seen' bar lights won't impact the fold

Do you mean the standard Brompton Cateye lights? I got a cheap pair of Cateye Orbs that work well as be-seen lights; depending on how you mount them on the front they don't interfere with the fold, or you can just swivel them around the bars and out of the way. I went for the battery rather than the USB rechargeable models as I only ever use them as backups to my dyno lights.

I use the Brompton saddle specific Cateye on the rear - it works even though I don't have a Brompton Saddle.
On the front I use a modified Hope Vision One on an Exposure quick-release mount fitted to the LH half of the handlebars - plenty bright and the mount doesn't foul the fold. -
I would get the new-ish Kong big cobber for the rear. They’re amazing for max exposure and visibility IMHO. (Granted they’re quite expensive but can you put a price on safety)
-
If you’re too in keeping with a Brooks saddle I would get a fizik saddle with a cateye mount. No compromise with your folding issues.

Congratulations!
Brompton 400 Cateye is pretty good, get the xlite100 saddle mounted rear for £10-15 online and jobs a gooden.

My shiney new Brompton arrived in the store today and I can collect it monday!
The question is, what lights should I get? Living in London they only need to be sufficient to help people spot me rather than lighting up a dark road. Are there any options besides the Cateye ones that won't impact on the fold?
