Subject: RE: Bike Headlights for Commuting I use a headlight I got for ~$35 online a year or so ago. It's not fancy, but it does the job. I bought it because it had a rechargeable battery pack. I think it has a halogen bulb and it has 2 brightness modes. I don't see it at Nashbar anymore.
I notice there are now a 10W headlights for cheap ($70 or under ). At that price, I'm tempted to upgrade. I think a single 10W system is plenty for commuting.
You'll also want to make sure you have a good taillight. It's probably more important for your safety than a headlight. And wear something reflective. I wear an Illuminite vest and have reflective stickers on my helmet.
