Good rechargable lights

I have a set of Aldi front & rear premium lights but with the oncoming dark nights I would like another light.

I have a Hope Vision 4 for front with the Aldi light so I'm covered on the rear. I've got a few .5W that are powered with AAA's but I want to move from replaceable battery driven lights to rechargable ones.

So I need a new rear light. The Lezyne Strip Drive Rear Bike Light looks ok, but are there any others? The Lezyne LED Micro Drive looks too focused not spread out, also design looks like it would fall out from the bracket.

I'm also considering the sidelight.

I also need replacement velco strap for the Hope Vision 4 cell battery pack

Aldi have USB rechargable lights in their deals coming up.

I use 2 rear lights on my commute - a Knog blinder and a Smart R2 - although my Smart R2 takes AA batteries - I use rechargable ones and they last ages (I think I charged them up in July? and I use the light on my commute home - night or day)

Where are you riding?
Well lit city roads? Unlit country lanes? Off road paths?

I'm guessing if you have a Hope 4 it's away from lit roads.

Lezyne macro drive front for me, plenty of light with a nice pattern, you get a focused beam fro looking ahead and enough peripheral light for things not to catch you unawares. that's on unlit country roads.

Out back a Moon Shield 60 still does it for me, this will be its fourth winter with no sign of a loss of performance.

Lezyne macro drive front here too, I've got the 600XL which appears to be discontinued but is still at Halfrauds for a bargain price.

The Lezyne Deca Drive Loaded is also on special at the moment, with an extra £10 off:

Bought the aldi cob lights £13 each.

One thing I may to do to mod them is to put a strip of black electricans tape on the top edge as you the light is distracting from riding position and effects night vision.
