I am looking for some clip-on lights. What I have is not satisfying because the lights keep moving during a ride, which seems rather unsafe!
Every fancy light I’ve ever had — and I’ve had many — either stopped working / charging, got stolen, or has been lost.
Took me a long time to realize the actual best lights are cheap and run on replaceable AA batteries.
I personally like to use really really bright LED lights pointed straight into the eyes of oncoming traffic.
Occasionally an oncoming car will take a swipe, or a cyclist will stop and punch me, but it’s well worth it for the widespread misery I can effortlessly cause.
It also makes it quite hard to see anything that isn’t in my ‘cone of death’, which is good in the same way that peril-sensitive sunglasses are!
I use a Rockbros 2-in-1 rechargeable horn and light that I got from aliexpress. It makes an earsplitting beep when I push the button. This ensures that when a car crushes me under their tires, they will be momentarily confused as to why they hear a smoke detector going off in the second or two before I die.
Not clip-on lights, but I use the AXA Nox 12S. Bolts directly into my front fork and takes two rechargeable AA’s. No bopping up or down while riding, just stays firmly in place.
It’s a good light for being seen, but won’t really light up a path for you unless it’s pitch black. I have a secondary handlebar-mounted torch that I carry in my bag, just for times where I want an increased viewing distance
I use a cheap USB recharageable rear light from Amazon which have worked great and are nice and bright. For the front light those don’t work so well if you need to illuminate the road ahead (rather than just be seen by others). I use a LifeLine pavo 720 lumen light which has been great. I don’t think they sell that particular model any more but something like this is very close.
