Lights for Hybrid - USB charged

boobar · 2014-09-09 19:32:03

Hi, I've enjoyed cycling on my new hybrid during the Summer. With Winter nights closing in, can anyone recommend an online shop for lights please? Are there any specific types or brands that you'd recommend? The last time I had a light on my bike it was powered by a dynamo, but I'd like to buy some that can be charged…

Hi,

With Winter nights closing in, can anyone recommend an online shop for lights please?

Are there any specific types or brands that you'd recommend?

The last time I had a light on my bike it was powered by a dynamo, but I'd like to buy some that can be charged through USB.

I have a front lezyne, which I like, but they are quite expensive. Anyone have any more reasonable USB options, I'm actually looking for a second front to go alongside my lezyne, but I'm feeling particularly cheap this time around!

Decathlon do a set of Btwin USB rechargeable lights for £17.99 I have two sets of them and find them great. Usually get over a week from one charge. Use parcel motel to get them delivered from Belfast.

Anyone recommend a good MTB light, not looking to spend more than 100 euros for it.

Check eBay for "Trustfire T6 3 x CREE Bicycle"
Even on lowest setting, these will give plenty of light. About £30 including battery pack.
