I like the Cateye LD500-RC.
It has two modes; blinking and solid.
in the blinking mode it blinks in triple bink sets (like the morse code
"S" over and over) and runs just about forever (100 hours) on two AAA
batteries.It comes with a quick release seat post mount and a belt clip.
It also meets the C.P.S.C. (Consumer Product Safety Commission) regulations
as a reflector.See:

popular to the same kinda guys though, but ones that haven't got the
cash for a car.....W

psychologically, a sense of "space" to the driver.Quoted message said:

Don't get the el-cheapo blinkies. Three reasons. They are not
well-constructed, not bright, and don't have a good angle of view.Yes, that's a great headlight, but ouch, $500?!

http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?sku=19467.Hmmm, US$529 add on $40 for customs, convert into beaver bucks, that's
$654 add on the Gouging and Screwing Tax that's $700 for a light, nearly
3 times what I spent on the bike (year end distributors clearance, I
gotta *really* good deal). I think that's a little pricey....Quoted message said:

When I put lights on mine, I'll get a pair of $7 rear lights, and run
them that way, since I have an MTB with the seat way up there, there is
lots of seatpost space. Nice thing about running two rear lights, is
that if the batteries die on one, the other is still running...Quoted message said:

as your watching the light show, you run over the bike it's attached
to....Quoted message said:

Well, they got the hokey part right. The real issue in both cases
though, is you buy a nice light high quality bike, adding 25lbs of
batteries isn't a big benefit.W
