March 9, 201214 yr Having had a clip on light nicked at the hospital I was wondering what people do with protecting the more permanent lights like the Magicshine I have bought now. TIA
March 9, 201214 yr Yeah, my MagicShine lights get removed and popped in my backpack if I leave the bike anywhere contentious. I used velcros straps not zip ties to secure the cables to they can be removed easily.
March 9, 201214 yr Gotta agree with others - have a light that easily comes off for best security. I use a Smart Lunar 35 on the front and a Exposure Flare on the rear. The lights come off but the brackets stay on. The worst that happens is that someone nicks the brackets but this is really vandalism as of no value really. Anyway, one of the reasons I chose these lights is becuse new brackets are easily available separatley. However, none of this really answers your question so I have two suggestions for you Firstly you could buy one of these Defender bike light resists theft and water, looks dangerous Secondly you could use part of their idea and modify an existing bracket by replacing the screw in the bracket clamp with a wierd/rare scre that requires a specific tool that your average theif wont have. Perhaps some of the engineers on here could advise ? I've seen triangle type and star type hex bolts
