I had the B&M 2C rechargeable (bought from Brilliant Bikes £22, now £33). It lasted 2.5 years mounted on the brake bridge reflector mount (I’d gone from H6R to H6L) then the micro USB port died, basically I noticed it rattled when I tried to insert the cable, the orange charge light would briefly come on then instantly go out again. I tried many different positions to get a solid connection, but short of staying perfectly still and holding it for 2+ hours was a no-no.
Bought a B&M Senso as replacement (also from Brilliant Bikes), then learnt online it might be not so good long term. I had to reverse the bolts on the Brom rack in order to fit (bolt heads inwards, nuts on outside of rack, went back to H6R mode) as clearance was non-existent (feared I might break light trying to get battery cover on & off).
I was using 2C in addition to Exposure Trace & TraceR for daytime rides (got an Exposure Strada 800 for dark) though @amey will prob say ‘Dyno’ (I’ve been a forum lurker for a while). Did actually buy Brom SP Dyno wheel with front & rear lights and cabling from fleabay, though never got round to fitting.

Perhaps not what you’re looking for but maybe something to consider; an exposure under the saddle with the saddle rail mount? It’s what I’ve been using and it’s fits very nicely on the Brompton saddle.

What’s the best rear light to go on the Brompton reflector bracket? I want a permanently fixed light. I don’t have a dynamo. I am thinking replaceable batteries rather than rechargeable.

Seem to be the options.
