Under bar/stem light or mount

[TheFungle]

I'm looking for an under bar/stem light or mount, I'm more concerned with 'being seen' rather than lighting the road ahead, my new commute doesn't require me to ride in total darkness.

The new Knog looks appealing but the whole PWR bank looks a bit of a faff.



The Trek Blender looks good but the total cost with new stem is prohibitive.



Only real alternative I can find is a crown mounted attachment.

My Garmin out-front mount has a GoPro mount on the base. I have a GoPro attached to it, but lights are available that attach to GoPro mounts too. Worth investigating.

I've just bought a Moon Nebula, not completely under stem but munt can get pretty close and then have of it is under but also far enough forward that doesn't interfere with hand positioning.

I mount a USE Strada Mk1 upside down so that it's under the bars. The beam is either wide or wide plus spot and has no up/down bias, so you just point it at the angle you want to strike the deck. Works really well at keeping the bars less busy looking, and allows you to "chew the stem" without chipping your teeth on the lamp!

I use a couple of these

Granted they are top mounted because of the cables but if that is not an issue you can easily flip them under the bars

My daughter has a Moon on her stem for being seen, she then has a Lezyne on her bars for seeing.

The Exposure Trace looks like an option, chatting to the guys at USE on Twitter they run it upside down with no issues.

Off to LBS to see how sturdy they are.

I've got the Garmin light with the mount, it is good but rather bulky!



Personally, I think the USE Trace above is a better option.

Having something off centre on my bars was bugging me so had a fiddle and put the stem through the bungee and I think it looks a lot better;

I just bought a Lenzyne pair of lights. The front has rubber long enough to fit around my steerer, so it sits just beneath the stem. Cost about £15.
