What commuting lights do you use?

hope vision 4 led to see

selection of blinking cateyes and reflective tape to be seen

I can't bring myself to wear hi-vis

I have a Cateye LD1100 zip-tied onto my rack, a Blackburn Mars 3 on my seatpost, rear reflector, and red reflective flash on my mudguards. Wheel reflectors, orange reflective trim round my MTB spd pedals (not those stoopid irritating black plastic things), a BLT Doppler on the bars twinned with a MTE p7 torch for ~500 lumen kicking out the front (I rarely use it full power in traffic - dazzle hazard, handy on unlit lanes though), white reflective tape down either fork leg.

But then I commute in Bristol ... so ppl still don't see me ...

Rear lights, wish I could find a good one. The cateye is very bright, but the flash modes go in and out of sync with each other, so if you are standing >50 yards away it dosn't always look like it is flashing. The Blackburn isn't as bright and isn't as good side view, but at least its smaller, lighter and has a far far far far superior mount - unlike the cateye, which uses the same mount as smaller lighter siblings, so tendsto break mounts. Irritatingly it require a silly small screwdriver to get the batteries out, unlike the cateye twist to unlock battery access.

Lumicycle rig, 7 years old still running and long burn times. Run 2 halogens 12w spot + 20w flood when off road. On road LED front with glo ring and LED rear. Very bright. Worth the money when you consider there are no street lights on my commute- so need bright lights, and also before the lumis a set of lights lasted a winter, rears only a couple of months (regardless of brand - cateyes were just as short lived as el cheapo no name stuff)

Front is usually a Fenix L2D and sometimes give my old Lupine Nightmare a run out, especially if longer ride.

On the rear is one of those Smart 0.5w jobbies, bright. enough. [Although a colleague runs one of those £90 Dinotte jobbies - that is bright!)

Always carry a f/r backupz as well.

Here we go...

On the back of the seat post is an old Cateye 3 led something-or-other on a QR clip on mount.
I had a Topeak red light on the rack, but that 'bounced off' on first road ride, so now have the standard reflector and a Tesco red flashing LED thing ( £4 for pair - v bright 3 mode ) on rubber band mount. On my helmet I have a red and 2 white Backupzs, soon to be replaced by a pair of the S-sun dual lights (£8 @ CRC). On the bars are an old Specialized Solo lamp - gutted and fitted out with a 3.6v Li-Ion, Cree 170 lmn Led & columator (see http://lyxus.net/mfn ) on a QR mount- and the other ( white ) Tesco Led.

Most of my commute is on busy country lanes without street lights - this lot provides plenty of light for seeing, and more importantly BEING seen.

Somewhere in the garage I have an old Smart 10w ( MR11 ) 6v NiMh with a duff bulb - going to replace the bulb with 4 of these: http://lyxus.net/mfo
