Suggestions for a rear light and jacket?

[ambuletz]

I'm after a rear light 'to be seen' as I commute around greater london. Ideally something from halfords as I can get a friends&family discount. Can anyone suggest any? I already own a topeak light for the front which I'm more then happy with.
My initial thoughts were getting a Knog Blinder1 rear due to their compact size and its something you can just strap onto the seat post, or chuck into your pocket.

A slightly cheaper option would be the Lezyne femto drive rear.


My only concern with the Knog is some people seem to say it sometimes comes off without reason. I'm not sure how secure they are.



Additionally I'm after an all purpose lightweight jacket of sort. some degree of water resistance would be great so that I can use it in the rain, a hood would be nice too. Something casual enough that I could also use as a normal jacket.

Moonshield 60. People give me more room when it's flashing even in broad daylight.

£33 compared to £15 for the knog and £11 for the lezyne. Looks abit chunky too.

horrible. i dont need a jacket to be 'seen'. And its something that I'd like to wear casually. I'm fine with just using front/rear lights.

^ All these jackets look daft to me. I've got abit of a belly on me so would look ridiculous wearing one. Ontop of that they do not look that casual for my liking.

As for the lights, something small i can slip into my pocket that's good enough for being seen.
