Toplight line comes in a battery powered version as well. I've got both options and would recommend them.

Ouch! I'm still trialling the rack and panniers for daily use vs going back to the big Carradice so a £30 light is out.
Definitely going to get one for the mud guard though.

I always imagined a CatEye TL-AU100BS would be mudguardable, though never tried - they'd be a bit heavy, as there's a fair bit of waggle even with the relatively light B&M Seculite+, which encouraged a couple of SKS guards to snap just aft of the rearmost stay bridge.

EBC sale starts online tonight at 7. There are various lights on offer including Moon and CatEye.

I got a good back light that uses the reflector mounts on the mudguard. The Torch "Tail Bright Fender" was at that time available from a variety of internet places at prices from £6 to £22. Guess which one I went for. I've yet to fit the second one to the tandem but the one on the solo is fine.
It seems to give an adequately bright 1 watt light.

how do people rate the lezyne lights in the sale? thinking about getting MrSRD the femto set, or the slightly bigger ones? or his road bike, which he doesn't ride after dark all that often.

Tulyar was raving about his new USE lights that are smaller than wine bottle corks. Impressively bright but I did wonder about the run time.
EBC has the Moon Meteor which road.cc says was "A cracking little light that punches well above its weight and price." They also thought the Gem 2.0 was good for emergency use but short on run time.
I don't know much about Lezyne lights but road.cc reckons the Zecto is worth the higher price.
(OT: I see they also have the Schwalbe Ice Spiker in the sale. Keen price!)

Thanks Arellcat. I've ordered a Moon Comet front light for the tandem. had another Cateye die from water ingress, so am done with them. and some lezyne zectos for the road bike.

bah!
Now they tell me they'd already sold out of the lezyne lights. i'd put them in my basket earlier, but then their website crashed (or so it seemed to me) and i had to start over.
humbug.

While looking for Bikezac suppliers, I found Velo Vitality shop, which stocks a bunch of interesting rack mounted rear lights:
* Ikzi Pannier Rack Light, reduced to £4. Uses 2xAAA.
* Spanninga Solo, £15. Good for Bromptons.
* Spanninga Brasa, £16. Stylish and slightly 1950s looking.Posted 8 years ago #
