Default Light Theft (solutions — small pocket lights, or heavy duty well secured lights?)

Easily pocketable, completely waterproof (it uses a magnetic reed switch
to switch on and off) and the rubber strap is uses fits in seconds to
handlebars or a helmet. About the size of a big lipstick.


I bought one a couple of years ago for the kids' trailer. I don't think
I've ever actually used it on the trailer, it was just the best excuse I
could think of for buying it.

It lives in a pannier, strapped into a Maglite headband [1], to provide
light when I have to fix a puncture after dark. It also gets a lot of
use when I'm camping, because the light is good and, as John says, it's
very easy to pocket.
