Knog has a range called "Blinder" which are available in a few different sizes, cost-effective and suited for a blinky application for front/rear.

The brilliance of the Knog's Blinder is the unit itself plugs into a USB socket, instead of the unit having a female socket in-built. This means water ingress doesn't happen anywhere near as much.

They also have a unit called the PWR which is modular - you can remove the lens easily and interchange it for a MTB style lens, or even just use the battery itself as a power bank to charge your phone etc. It's also pretty cheap as far as being a big lumen front light.

The other great thing about the PWR is it has one of the most effective mounts that I've found in that you can mount it under your bars, and it tucks under a garmin out front mount super neat.

Hard to beat for the money and does a good job when you’re caught in the rain too. 4 settings with the last one being a “pulse”.

DiNotte

Dinotte make a great front light.The latest one I have has three sources in the light with a number of options for light pattern in amber.

The new version is a front Quad. I have the new rear Quad and it is great too.

Knog Blinder is my daylight light. Very visible and a good range of patterns. Reassuring on country foggy mornings when most people are barely awake.

I've got my rear covered, so to speak, with my Dinotte Quad.

What's your favorite front "here I am " light ?
Hard to beat...IMHO

Cygolite

Check out the Cygolite Metro 1100.
It has a SUPER bright daytime flash mode, when I use it I can really tell that cars wait for me at intersections etc....
