Minimalist, light weight k-edge mounted lighting
Moderator: robbosmans
I have searched but it seems like most of the options are way more then I need. I am not looking to replace the sun. I just need a rechargeable small front flasher that I can mount under my garmin. I just need to be seen. I will not be riding at night.
Any ideas.

I have lots of handlebar mount options. Looking for under Garmin/K Edge mount style.
Jackpot but.... under the Garmin would be better and the battery life on the lowest setting is bit lacking.TonyM wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 6:55 amhttps://fabric.cc/wp-content/uploads/20 ... 50x750.jpg

https://www.trekbikes.com/ca/en_CA/equi ... Code=black Blendr mount should be Go-pro compatible.
http://www.lezyne.com/product-led-sport ... p2BAejwbGg Looks like you can replace the rubber band mount with a Go-pro interface, but that'll be an additional purchase.

Other "minimalist lights are the Knog "be seen" lights:
I use the Blinder mini dot:

I'm not sure how small you're hoping to go, but I don't know if you're going to get exactly what you're looking for.
Blinkers/be-seen lights are typically going to be run as flash/strobes, so they're not going to need a huge battery to get decent run times. Without the need for a huge battery, there's no incentive for a manufacturer to increase the size/cost to put it in a more complicated housing that's go-pro compatible when they can put it in something held on with a silicone band.

I have the mini dot front and rear, and they works great as just minimalist blinkers.
The front dot its pretty much useless as a "real" light in the dark as expected, but they both works good as a "to-be-seen" light
I recommend them. I actually use the front dot as my night runs light as well. I can wear it on my finger like a ring and it does a good job as a blinker, and do a much better job in the dark then riding because of the much slower speed. but still, lights are limited.
I wonder how much better is the mini chippy and mini niner, though they are rated as the same output (lumen)
