Rear light

Anyone recommend a rear light? Would like something that's easy to fit as and when required i.e. no screws
I have been using a Knog Bullforg but when I went to use it this time it didn't work due to a crack in the case that had let water and corroded the insides. Not impressed since I can't remember coming off with the light attached to the bike so no idea how it's cracked.

I've never had any problems with the Cateye LD610.
I've got one on the Boardman and one on the commuter. Battery life is great, nice and bright and easy to fit.

Having done a fair bit of research and checked the reviews I've just ordered the Blackburn Mars 3.0. I haven't got it yet so can't confirm what it's like but it is very well reviewed.

I use the older version of this.

Very bright on flashing mode, the big LED in the middle is really dazzling.
Maybe ask on the commuter forum though? I'm sure they've got a standard answer.0 -

Its bloody awesome, if a driver tells you he never saw you he's fookin lieing.
Its super bright, which even has sidelights too and its of an excellent build quality compared to the cheapo LEDs Ive used in the past, going to get another for the missus' bike.0 -

That reassures me that I've ordered the right thing!Santa Cruz Tallboy0 -
Just got my Blackburn Mars 3.0 from CRC and I'm impressed. Much brighter than the Knog and feels very sturdy with an attachment for post, belt clip and reflector mount.
Dan, you won't have any regrets with this rear light.0 -
Mars 4 is even better :-)
