Consists of an OLIGHT RN 800 headlight and a tail light made from a “5 V USB PD trigger modeule” wired to a simple “5 V red flashing LED”
I like this setup more than others mainly because there’s only one thing to charge. The tail light stays taped to my bike and is powered by the headlight.
I also like that there’s a nice mount as opposed to many lights that just use a rubber O-ring to hold the light to the bars.
I wanted to be able to charge the headlight with my USB-C phone charger, which I can do with this OLIGHT.
I wish the flashing LED was a bit brighter, but it’s still pretty dang bright.
I also wish there were a more elegant way to route the wire for the tail light, but that’s pretty minor.
Overall I’m super happy with this setup so I thought I’d share it.

could you put that LED into a cheap rear taillight housing to increase it’s size and reflectivity a bit?
