I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

A provis/reflective jacket and any low, wide beam light aimed at your chest. (I actually have no idea, but the above is an idea I've thought about before. Downside is a light kinda shining in ur eyes...)

The way that high-vis jackets work (apart from being yellow) is that they reflect light right back where it came from, instead of scattering it.

Lighting it up from a different angle might not help as much as you think.

Try holding a jacket and holding a torch at eye level, Vs somewhere else to see what I mean.
