Lights

I don't want knogs for 'cool points', I'd just heard that they'd upped their game and were now pretty reliable, hmm. The moons look pretty good, I'll keep looking.

Apologies if that sounded overly negative. From what I've seen the only thing they have over other lights is the securing mechanism... which lots of other people have now adopted.

I really like my Blackburn flea. I had the original AA battery charging one that died. Madison the UK distro were helpful and easy to deal with and I got a refund and bought the USB one. I think warranties on rear lights are useful as they tend to get wet and grimy. Anyway so that's a big +1 in my book.

I have only seen the front ones on other peoples bikes, but ultimately they're visibility/attracting attention lights. I think the rear could be a stand alone, but I'd rather have another additional front light for regular commuting. If it's just a spare/backup for riding to the pub/shops/backup the front would be fine. At the end of the day though you always need to have multiple lights if you're commuting when it's dark.

The Moon ones do look good, especially the front which is a lot brighter. But they are more expensive.
