Rear LED to clip on a bag

Post by Al »

Looking for a small rechargeable led to clip on a loop on a pack.

Something small, reasonably weather resistant, with a slimline 'clip'

Any recommendations?

Battery life not massive dude to the size of the light but this blinky is very bright. 3hr run time.

I've got a CubeLight II that I used to use before I got an Exposure Blaze. I've had it clipped to the back of my Restrap saddle harness before and it'll fit onto the light fitting on a Decathlon hydration pack too.

I use a Cateye Wearable X on my courier bag when commuting.

It's survived going through the wash after I forgot it was clipped to my jersey pocket a year or two ago, which is a recommendation of sorts.

Quite expensive for what it is though.

Lots of 3d printing files for clip on lights. Made one for the little cateye led rear light. Just ask people you know if they have a 3d printer.

I always add a elastic band or bobble to reduce the chances of losing it off the bag, don't ask why I found this to be important

I have one of these and it's my preferred rear light... I think mine is the brighter one, 250 or 400 or something, the daylight flash is UNMISSABLE, which frankly is what I want.
But I wouldn't want to cycle behind someone with one on!

...which is how I came into possession of 'my' Lezyne Zecto! I found it on the side of the road flashing away!... and it's a £50 rear light !

I use a band but do sort of expect to lose it the way found it...

I have a Moon Arcturus that came in a bundle wirh a Moon Meteor Auto for about 40 quid.
I also have a cheapo one from Planet X which cost about a fiver.
Both are excellent in my experience. :-bd

I've got a Cateye Wearable X, charge lasts a long time and it's small. The only negative is that it looks like it's £30 now!

I found one of the knock off versions of the Lezyne Zectos you can get on amazon in the road yesterday. It seems to work well and I've got no use for it. DM me a postal address if you want it.

Thanks for all the replies - the cateye or the bargain decathlon look like what I had in mind. Something quite small / neat
Thanks for the zecto offer but I don't think it's for me - I've had one previously and the weight of it made it say on lots of bags loops.
