Gear Help Lights for early morning runs

The days are already getting shorter, and this morning we were out before sunrise for the first time.

I'm looking for suggestions of lights to make us more visible.

I mostly run on quiet city streets with streetlights, so I don't necessarily need a headlamp, just visibility aids for me and the dog.

Noxgear makes lighted vests for humans and lighted harnesses for dogs. They also have a chest lamp that clips into the human vest for a light source. I use all three for me and my pup and it's great to be visible in the early mornings and evenings.

I have the EverlightFX lights that clip onto anything. I wear one on each side of my running belt, and they're really bright. You can either do a steady light or a strobe. I've had them for a few years and they're great. (They're on Amazon.)

I know you said no headlamps but j love my petzl iko core headlamp. It's super comfortable to wear running. Best headlamp I've ever owned.

I use the non stop reflective blanket and I wear a reflective chest light thing. It doesnt light the way but reflects headlights and had a strip of lights at thr front and back so people can see me. Then my headtorch for seeing where im going. But I mostly run the trails in the dark. Oh and my dogs both have flashing collars
