Rear light (blinking) built into the adjustment knob of the helmet
(not too bright, but can be easily seen).
..and when touring or on longer trips, I add the following to the pannier:
Great lights, and even greater when you running multiple lights..
Here is my system..
PBSF Turbo on rear of helmet, Cygolite USB on back of bike, el cheapee blinking rear on leg with 2 blinking reflective strips..Also, an 18650 on my helmet.
On front of the bike, TWO 26650 so call rated at 1600 lums each..
Sometimes I have one of the front lights on blinky. that is 3 strong lights facing forward. Even in heavy night time rush hour traffic, I am noticed and respected, sometimes yelled at too.
