Best led tail light for winter commuting.?

Answer 1

Nite rider tail light is the brightest tail light out there, on my bike I have two, one flashing and one steady both wired up to a 13.2 battery, keeps me safe commuting home on busy New York streets

Answer 2

Cat Eye do a long tail light of 5 flashing LEDs. This can be mounted horizontally or vertically. I also ride with one attached to my hydration pack and some club members have helmet LEDs.

I would recommend 2 units as the bike mounted one can sometimes become obscured, especially with saddle mounted tool bags or water bottles.

Luck

Answer 3

Most LED lights are pretty good, I would not support the purchase of the lighting kits that costs hundreds of pounds.

Instead buy and fit cheap LED lights (in the plural) Reasons?

If one fails you have a working back up.

A stand alone flashing light is illegal in the UK, but you can pair it up with a steady red.(flashing rear lights are far more visible from a distance!)

Its far cheaper! If you use rechargeable batteries then you have an efficient system.

Food for thought eh?

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

try Ebay, I've bought a number of LED torches from sellers in China and had no problems
For brightness look for LED's 1watt or more or try Luxeon lights

Answer 5

Try the Planet Bike Superflash - stupid name and stupid bright. That thing hurts to look at.
