Recommendations for new Rear Light

[Biggsy]

I doubt anyone here is trying to deceive anyone by having more than one rear light or reflector on their bicycle, but may I politely suggest that we don't have any name-calling on The Knowledge.  Focus on the facts, fanx.

I ride with a 2.4 meter long plank of wood across the rear rack with a 1w LED rear light perched on each end

In the dark I look like a people carrier

Evil old me

Smoke and mirrors old chap

Smoke and mirrors...

Well, I've got both my lights but I'm sticking with one on the back (the other can go on my rack pack for audax / long rides, or on my messenger bag round town).

It is stonkingly good. 

Nobody could possibly claim that they've not seen that.  It was raining on the way home tonight, so I also put my yellow rain-covers over my panniers.  I don't know whether it was the glow-in-the-dark panniers making me seem wider, the searing burn of the light, or a sudden outbreak of good manners in Acton, but whatever it was, it did the trick.

Frankly frankie, the assertion that you make about a "deliberate act of deception" says more about your thinking ... politely suggest moderating your phraseology, otherwise some might be lead to think you're a bit of a twonk!

Oh well - didn't realise this was the House of Commons

Does Liz know this?

I have found a new route, again  to work.  It is still very rural.  Some of my roads are narrower.  I am sure that some oncoming cars have no idea what I am, other than a very bright light coming towards them.  I suspect some may think I am a tractor as they pull into the verge until I arrive in front of them.

I am not trying to deceive anyone.  I am just trying to see, be seen and be safe with the aim of getting self and bike home in one piece.

I am no twonk either.

I have three lights at the front and three at the rear. 

Front: 

Cateye EL-530, EL-135 & Knog

Rear:

2x Cateye LD-600 & Knog

I'm obviously not really trying, I've only generally got two on the front.

Front

Exposure Race Maxx
CatEye Snapshot Plus - but I managed to damage the mounting so...
CatEye EL500 - but it made a dash for freedom on Tuesday, and no longer works so...
Niteflux Photon 4 Commuter - not a very good beam pattern, and a pain in the butt mounting (Cold Spare)

Back

Dinotte Tail Light (the old "dim" one!)
CatEye TL-LD1100 (Hot Spare)
CatEye TL-LD1000 (Cold Spare)

I've also got some NiteZone RedEye bar end lights, but I don't really count those as rear lights, since they are relatively dim.

Finally rode at night behind someone with a Dinotte on. It was my lad (the return journey of today's interesting commute. I put it onto middle brightness, and pointed it down. Not too bright to ride behind, and an amazing pool of light (with a shadow where it shone on the wheel) behind.

We lit up the cycle track well too at the front - two Dinottes and a Fenix L2D. 

[clarion]

No.  I confess.  I rode yesterday with only one LC600 on my bag, after the other had a high-speed unscheduled dismount and was run over (though it still works and I have glued the lens back on ).

[mrcharly-YHT]

Ordered a superflash.

I seem to have no luck with blinkies. Lost two recently, so I'm reduced to one cheapy Smart. Last night I had two cars blaring their horns at me and shouting that they couldn't see my rear light.
