Who here uses running lights?

Headlamp? Waistbelt light? Both?

What lumens are you running on your lights?

What have been your favorite brands?

Honestly, I have never thought about using one. By the time I come back from my run, the day is usually already bright, so I have never thought about getting a running light.

Same here I have never really thought of having one. But it will be a good buy for days that we might need it for our runs. I will have to read some reviews before going for any brand. Because I will need the best

Yes this will be very suitable for those who like running when it's dark in busy areas, to prevent accidents.

Yes; in fact, there are areas that are far too dark at night—either because the lighting is very dim or because there is no lighting at all. For those who need or choose to run in such environments, I would strongly recommend always using running lights; otherwise, it could be very dangerous, as you could get hit.

Yes but most people don't really like using it cause it also tends to draw unwanted attention to them as well.

I agree with you, early runers needs to use running lights. Aside from even been hit you can also even be abused especially for females same with getting injured as you run along dark places
