REAR LIGHTS

Knog Blinder Road

A neat match to the Blinder ARC, this rear light runs in line with your seat post, and has a nice ‘peloton’ setting which doesn’t blind the rider behind you. But the peak output of 70 lumens means when riding solo you know you will be seen. The mount doesn’t adapt well to aero seatposts, or seat angles beyond the normal range. The integrated USB charger is neat and effective.

Output: 70 lumens, Burn time: 3.5 – 20 hours, Modes:  5 modes from Steady to Eco, Mounting: Elastic strap - replaceable, Weight: 47g, Price: $74.95, From: Knog

Blackburn Click USB rear

This basic design is very easy to get along with. The 20 lumens is still ultra bright, and it can be on or flashing. Simple. The mount will suit standard seatposts from 15-33mm, unless the angle is beyond the range of normal, as there is no option to change the angle. This should be a very popular model for road cyclists without aero seat posts.

Output: 20 lumens, Burn time: 1.5 – 3 hours, Modes: High or flashing, Mounting: Elastic strap, Weight: 20g, Price: $34.99, From: Sheppard Cycles

Azur USB ET Tail Light

While you might get lost in the options of modes available, this light is easy it fit onto just about any seat post, with a small range of adjustment to make sure it points where it needs to. The day-running flash will suit mile munchers, and the high beam will help keep you visible if you’re on busy roads.

Output: 30 lumens, Burn time: 1.5 – 20 hours, Modes: 8 modes, Mounting: Adjustable rubber mounting with quick release, Weight: 34g, Price: $34.95, From: Bikecorp
