Ryder Orion is really good and solid, So are the extreme lights, both have compatible batteries, I have 4X extreme lights batteries for my Ryder Orion, huge help for long distance stuff as well.

Extreme lights service is very good.

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

don't forget your mirror.

Extreme lights for service and great lights 

If you on a budget try 

 CWC...900 lumen @R499

         .....2200.........@R999

900 lumens served me fine on Mtbike night rides.

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.

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.

Garmin Varia UT800

Lightweight

Neat mounting on bike

Integration with Edge 820

How compatible are the Extreme Lights products with an aero seatpost? Seems to be a problem for many rear lights.

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?! Hehe

The same is true for communal showers

Thanks for all the info. I'm busy checking out all the links and recommendations

Agreed with this one.

 

I have one of these and it can be seen during the day from over 1km away.

I have one as well. My question is when does a car need to see you from a km away
