Hi

Can someone recommend some decent bike lights? I have a front one that attaches with the rubber band type thing that’s pretty good except it turns on in my bag every time so it’s always dead when I go to use it.

Needs be removable from the bike easily.

I would prefer USB C over micro USB. Or maybe rechargeable AA battery which I already own.

Also the rear light is gonna be attached to milk crate on the back rack.

It’s for a city just to be seen so I don’t need 7150 lumens.

Thanks!

    Just for those who’ve not tried it, hub dynamo lights seem to have the best all round experience in city biking. A hub dynamo is something worth considering next time you buy a bike. Although I’ve retrofitted by replacing the front wheel once.

    Why dynamo lights? It’s a huge convenience, and means no excuses for riding at night:

    • Never forget to charge, or check charge level, or buy batteries.
    • Never go out without lights hoping you’ll be home before dark.
    • Never have lights lost or stolen. Dynamo lights are little more than an LED + lens.
    • Never attach and detach lights each ride. Just walk away.
    • Never even switch lights on and off ever again. Leave them on.
    • Never have to carry your lights somehow with you all evening.
