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!

Cygolite metro and some tiny knogs. Really like the set up.

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!

This, but unironically. People can't say they didn't see me.
