My usual go to light is a Dinotte 300R, but its mounting bracket makes it impossible to use on my seatpost if I also want to use a small saddle bag. It's a big light, that sits upward from the mounting bracket, taking up most of the seatpost length. I'm a firm believer in keeping the light as high and centered as possible, eliminating the choice to use it on chain or seat stays.

I recently purchased a Serfas TL-80...great light, small profile and very bright. However, I can't recommend it due to the mounting bracket. The light itself is fairly heavy and it simply overwhelms the cheap bracket that ships with the unit. After a few bumps the light will begin to tilt down, rendering it much less effective. Since I really like the light, I'm about to use some super glue to fix the mounting angle. Hopefully that will fix the problem with an otherwise perfect light.
