As you looking for illumination so you can see the road or so cars see you?
I do most of my riding on city streets in Chicago and the streets themselves
are very well lit. I have planet bike "blinky" lights. They flash brightly
and i "feel" visable (I can see them reflecting off signs quite a distance up
front.
They are $13 for a white (front) light and $8 for a red light from campmor.com
I try to do 20 to 30 miles a night and i'd say a set of batteries has lasted
me more than 6 months (i did just have to change a set recently). I also
leave the rear one on when doing daytime rides (one of the folks riding with
me a few weeks ago at the north shore century was tormenting me that he was
couldn't ride behind me as he was afraid he was gonna have a seizure)
