Bigjim Posted February 27, 2018 Share Seeing as you commute, I would seriously consider the Garmain Varia rear radar/ light as an option - even better when paired with an Edge for traffic warnings. Might be a bit more than your average rear light, but a real game-changer for traffic safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowardSteele Posted February 27, 2018 Share Extreme lights for service and great lights If you on a budget try CWC...900 lumen @R499 .....2200.........@R999900 lumens served me fine on Mtbike night rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted February 27, 2018 Share Seeing as you commute, I would seriously consider the Garmain Varia rear radar/ light as an option - even better when paired with an Edge for traffic warnings. Might be a bit more than your average rear light, but a real game-changer for traffic safety I was lucky enough to win one in December. It's cool but not sure I would pay that money for one. OP, If you prepared to wait like 4/5 weeks for shipping the Aliexpress or lightmalls are 2 china options. I have bought from both and those lights and batteries are still going strong. For a fraction of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin PJ Posted February 27, 2018 Share I have Chris Willemse 900 lumen light, it is great for road. Battery last ages on high beam. Used a lot of Chinese lights that look the same over the years, the light heads are generally good, but every battery was rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eon du Plessis Posted February 27, 2018 Share How compatible are the Extreme Lights products with an aero seatpost? Seems to be a problem for many rear lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrikkieMeyer87 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Ive got one of those Xeccon Spear 900 jobbies that I picked up from One Day Only a while back, and I tend to have to run it in medium mode when cycling at night or face flashes from oncoming traffic. It's proper bright and got some pretty decent reviews. It's USB rechargeable which is lekker, and lasts quite long... mind you... I can't really remember when last I charged it?!

Schnavel Posted February 28, 2018 Share Rear light: Bontrager Flare R The end. Agreed with this one. I have one of these and it can be seen during the day from over 1km away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
