Allrounder Posted March 13, 2017 Share Hi guys I am seriously looking for a very good rear light. I have tried a couple before, but they seem pretty useless during the day. Do you know which ones work well? Or what should I look at when buying one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weimaraner1 Posted March 13, 2017 Share I have only had two before, both Cat Eye. I bought the http://www.cateye.com/en/products/detail/TL-LD700-R/ 3 years back. It is USB rechargeable with a power saving function, it is very bright even in the day and can quickly be put on or take off as it secures with an oring. My 2 cents.....

Allrounder Posted March 13, 2017 Share Will have a look thanks. Also found the bontrager daytime light, but 900 bit steep at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas_187 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Bontrager Flare R. I just bought one. Check the reviews section Allrounder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allrounder Posted March 13, 2017 Share where did you buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted March 13, 2017 Share Do NOT buy one of those with the lasers. Nice idea, but gimmicky. And think about what you want to see on the back of a cyclist when approaching from behind in a car. Bigger and brighter is better. Tiny, lightweight and faint... no so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allrounder Posted March 13, 2017 Share Yes had those tiny lightweigt stuff. not working. Think Ill have to punish the credit card and get a decent back light. for the same reasons as Andreas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayskull Posted March 13, 2017 Share Knog!! Very well pricedUSB rechargeableMultiple brightness settings Long lasting I think Freewheel has them for R110https://www.facebook.com/knogsa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf1969 Posted March 13, 2017 Share I have had a good experience with the Lezyne strip drive - which is plenty bright. There is a pro version which is a retina searing 150 lumens so passing aircraft know where you are. http://www.lezyne.com/products-led.php Also usb charged, multiple settings and remembers what you used last. Works well in day and at night. But Cateye are also very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J∆kk∆ls Posted March 13, 2017 Share Knogg are great lights but shty construction. Don't buy! Cat Eye rear lights are awesome! I own one the slips into the Fizik Saddle. Very discrete and battery lasts a long time on flashing mode! Blackburn rear lights are awesome! I own a rechargeable for the commuter which needs recharging pretty much every day to insure that it does not stop working mid ride! Can only review these three!

Slowbee Posted March 13, 2017 Share I will drop in a curve ball. Extreme lights have a rear light for R199 R175. Cant remember. Works off penlight batteries. It works well. Bright clear and has mutiple modes. The best one is the flashy mode dancing thingy. With it having two sets of "lights" they jump up and down and flash at random. Have one on the seat post. One on the back pack and one cable tied to the back of the helmet. They weigh next to nothing but are visible from far away. Especially in the flashing mode setting.

bertusras Posted March 13, 2017 Share I also have one of the Extreme Lights, and they are brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
