best Be-Seen bike lights

It seems to be fashionable for the bike to wear flashing lights, and 'driving lights' on cars, nowadays.
Since I like to keep at the cutting edge of these things, I would like to equip my bike.
Unfortunately my Aberdonian heritage has led me to acquire various rather useless cheapo items.
I bought several of this type, ultra cheap and light, but short battery life, so used in rotation:

I had 2 cob rear from Aldi, which is ok, but lost one on the Gairnshiel somewhere last month.
And I had varous 2xAAA rear in the past.
So I am looking for advice on buying:
front+rear flashers,
how many lumens?,
rechargeable lasting say 12 hours run time.
easy fix on bike
Are any of these any good?

Or should I step up to Lezyne, Exposure, Bontrager?

I commute everyday, all weathers. Every light I’ve had dies from water ingress, other than exposure. They don’t have the best beam shape or temp (for me) but I don’t have to replace them every year.

You will get loads of opinions on this topic.
I’m using this

Lots of light, compact and really good run times with the high capacity battery

I use Exposure Trace and Trace R after discovering that they are what the very visible road rats around here are using.

Oh, I like those. If I was still touring/camping/audaxing, I'd be ordering now!
