    I have tried several rear lights, some quote expensive. The hotshot is excellent for it performance. I did a time trial recently and the start marshall said he could see my light from over a mile away in bright daylight. It was commented that it was the brightest rear light on the day out of 100 riders. I know that it hurts your eyes to look at it directly at close distance.

    I haven’t had much luck with rear rechargeable lights. They all seem the break quickly on me.

    Lezyne Zecto – lovely big light but blew after 2 months of winter. Moon light USB also went quickly. Lezyne Femto – still working after 3 years of solid year round commuting. I buy a sheet of batteries from ebay and they last a winter. Cateye Omni – bombproof and think this has been working for well over 5 years of commuting. Weirdly the really bright rear lights appear to attract bad drivers. The gentle light of the Cateye appears to be just right.

    I usually have a combination because invariably one will stop working when you least want it to

    Aldi “premium” rear light
    Aldi “premium” rear light £8.99. Different light patterns/intensities for flashing and steady. Can be mounted discreetly vertically or horizontally. Bought a front and rear – front mounts via substantial rubber band under stem, and the rear vertically between seat stays, with the rubber band around seat tube.

    Looking at the Zecto. £21.99 with Wiggle, the Trace R is £44, at Wiggle I also like the look of the Lezyne Strip Drive Pro £35.99.

    Anyone use one of these?

    Cygolite hotshot. Probably
    Cygolite hotshot. Probably the brightest rear light available. Multiple flash patterns. Very compact and decent mount for either seat post or stays.

    See amazon or ebay for retailers
