I really like the Cateye lights. StVZO compliant. I read some bad reviews about the beam pattern but I find it just fine.

They have a very secure bracket. I went through too many Sigma Sport silicone bands and just gave up on them. I chose the GVolt60 because, for some strange reason, it has the longest battery life of the GVolt series, at least in a few side-by-side tests I have read. You can get the bracket separately for about 4 Euro. Cateye also makes a fork mount bracket available separately. So I have brackets on all my bikes preinstalled and just move the one light around as necessary.

A disadvantage for the GVolt60 is a relatively long recharge time compared to the other GVolts. But perhaps the longer burn time and longer charge time are related to each other? It takes a few hours to charge up.
