I can't find any, despite spending a veritable fortune on supposedly good brands. The rechargeable ones I have, Blackburn brand (about £17 each ), take forever to charge up but then hold their charge for way less than an hour. Tonight I went by bike in the dark to somewhere around 45 mins away with them fully charged. They stayed lit during the journey there but lasted only 5 mins into the journey back, even though they'd been turned off to have a nice rest for the 2 hours that I was out. They were a replacement for the even more expensive ()pretty knog lights I have. These eat AA duracell batteries like smarties and also give out suddenly and completely completely after laughably short periods of time- probably about 2 days worth of journeys. It's a real pain. I go everywhere by bike and have a burley kazoo trailer bike for my daughter which we use daily. It's dark by 4ish and safety and legality demand good lights. Does anyone have any suggestions of bike lights that are not flaky and rubbish?

Calling all Nazgul, those who ride bikes instead of horses, what bike lights do you use? Are there any that actually work?
