Hi Amanda, I do a lot of riding during the night and have done for years. I choose the light that I use depending on the location I go and how long I'll do. (You tend to see some changes over the years.) Headlamps have two uses. To see that you wear and that you are seen by others. If you are driving in town, there is often a lot of street lights to see that you're going to wear a simple flashing three or four LEDs are the battery life is excellent job.The. I tested one and it took, after being left on over a month he was still useful light output. These are cheap enough to get two. It dosn't matter what kind of light you, they all fail at one time or another. Do not fall not in the dark. Ditto for the rear lights. Al get a super bright, but el cheapo have as a backup. When I go out in high wear areas of lighting Street is poor then it is time for the bright lights. I have a wide choice of 5,10,15 or 20 watt halogen that I selected based on how I am not riding. (Shortens battery life with better lighting.) (Two batteries provide approximately four hours of light 5 watt @ 1 hour at 20 watts) My favorite is an ultra-bright 4-watt LED lamp with a lithium-ion batteries. It is really light weight, gives a good light (120 lumens) and lasts just over two hours. It failed because of a vibration several times and was very expensive to buy though. I also like a front hub dynamo generator wheel for use on all the rides at night. (Limited to 5 watts) Use the generator to keep the battery top up. (Will any even the night off.) The vintage generators tires are terrible in comparison (noisey, hard on tires and as dragging a brake) tail lights for the brightest, I do not know is a registered Basta http://www.croydoncycleworks.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=750 There are lots of good brands for the headlights and some are ridiculously bright. You need a battery for Hugh to keep them in business for any length of time and they become very expensive.

El cheapo are much better than nothing if you have to sneak home after a lamp, wiring or battery fails. Even if you light a Christmas tree there are motorists who do not fit not bicycles. Warning!
