Anyone Europe side know of a good easily removable bike light set that recharges with USB-C?

I had knog blinders on my recently stolen bike which I liked but they were USB-A and it was starting to get annoying to recharge them

I like the products by Sigma, pretty sure they have some usb-C offerings. I usually go for AA-AAA though, as I like being able to swap fresh rechargeable batteries in when needed.

I currently use a Helix Sense 450 rear light from Moon Sport which has a nice form factor, easily clips on and off the bike onto a strap that stays attached and has a USB C charging port.

I think the sense technology that it comes with is crap but that isnt really my main want / need for lights, everything else is great with it and at 450 lumens for a rear light it is bright which I really want for day time riding.

I don't have a front light from them so can't comment on their use of USB C or not but I'd imagine that the front lights would follow the rear lights for stuff like that so it may be worth having a look at what they offer. I'll be in the market for a new front light soon and will be having a look at them again as I'm impressed.

Mine is a Sofirn bike like with a 21700 battery. I think I paid maybe $30 for it?

I also use a Cateye on my other bike, which lasts a long time and works well, but is micro USB and a little more expensive (I think I paid $45ish for them but they're also much lighter).

Thanks, so I bought these in the end. They do the job.
