Not looking for anything too fancy, but would like to get a set of commuting lights
Most route will be lit so don't need expensive beams
Reliable, good battery life
Knog boomer £30

Lezyne femtos are really good for the money (f&r = £22 ish)
They come with batteries and duracell replacements are peanuts off ebay. Battery life so far is very good
They fit and remove in a couple of seconds. The front is not bright enough for unlit roads though. I have a more powerful front light now but still use the femto rear on fast flash mode with no issues

Thanks
Would like something a bit brighter up front just in case, 15 lumens isn't muchWanted: Cube Streamer/Agree GTC Compact / Pro/ Race : 53cm0 -

excellent set, half price at the moment. Batterys last long time and thats with the cheap crap batterys that were supplied with it.
Rear light is blinding. Front light is good enough for unlit lanes. For the price really cant go wrong.0 -

Agreed on the rear light, but the front's only useful for being seen. You need something brighter to see by on unlit roads0 -
I'm pretty sold on kong boomer USB
I like the design
Ok lumen for type of light
USB with no wiresWanted: Cube Streamer/Agree GTC Compact / Pro/ Race : 53cm0 -
How about 500 Lumen for 8 quid?

you'll need a charger and an 18650 cell (old laptop bat). It'll do 100 Lumen for 10 hours on low mode
plenty of mounting options too.
Well inside your total budget.0 -

For the money you can't really better Planet-X Phaart Lights if you need lights 'to be seen by' rather than 'to see with'. Have a look a this post and this follow-up post for further details.
