Hi

Can someone recommend some decent bike lights? I have a front one that attaches with the rubber band type thing that's pretty good except it turns on in my bag every time so it's always dead when I go to use it.

Needs be removable from the bike easily.

I would prefer USB C over micro USB. Or maybe rechargeable AA battery which I already own.

Also the rear light is gonna be attached to milk crate on the back rack.

It's for a city just to be seen so I don't need 7150 lumens.

Thanks!

I second the Niterider series. I had their front Lumina, when I realized I needed a brighter light to see all the potholes on my winter evening commutes. And got this exact rear one when I needed to upgrade my back light.

I love that it is rechargeable, and bright enough to be seen in the deceptively lit suburban light-pollution of my commute. (And they are pretty easy to find at sports/bike shops)

And the grips are good enough to hold and readjust, but can still take them off if you lock up your bike for a few hours.
