Lights for occasional use

orraloon

Other half, bless, has just dropped and smashed my front light. Time for a new set. Thing is, I am an infrequent after dark cyclist, hardly ever. But given the time of year... I do have the front and rear be seen in daytime LEDs which I use as flashers though they do have a constant mode, but will need more output than that. I'm not urban so lighting for country roads, cycle paths, and similar.

Any recs for good value reasonably priced sets?

Another one of whatever has just been broken, assuming it was fit for what you needed.
This will give you a spare mount.

Love my knog boomers:

Best thing is that you don’t need a mount permanently attached to your bike. Just stick them in the jersey pocket when going out if you think you might need them. And they’re pretty bright.

<edit - rereading your post - the boomers wouldn’t be bright enough to illuminate country roads, they’re an urban light more or less - but much brighter than some, very safe for being seen with>

Something like the Lezyne Zecto Drive set, Wiggle listing at £45?

My old broken light was so old that doubt it is still made. Plus my (non paired) rear light is a bit too old school, will be happier with many more lumens behind me.

Very infrequent night rider, cannot remember last time I was out in the dark, multiple years. But got a late back trip out coming up in a couple of weeks time, will definitely be dark on my way home early evening.

I've had one of https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIMSMJ900 ... ycle-light for a few years, in suburbia I have to angle it down quite sharply due to the beam throw, would make a decent rural light.

There's a newer model for same price at PX with Bluetooth for setting custom brightness levels.

Wow, 1200 lumen, that I like! That Lezyne Zecto is only 250l. My routes will be 95%+ unlit.
