I have a Cygo Lite Rover II, which at this point is kind of obsolete. Most people seem to use Cygo Lites or NIght Riders.0 -

Oh, and there is also something called a CREE light; I think the brand name product is Magicshine, but there are many knockoffs available; Amazon search: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_12?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=cree+bicycle+light&sprefix=cree+bicycle,aps,192
Those are probably the best bang for the buck in terms of light per cost. Some people swear by them, some think they're junk. I may try one for my next light.0 -
that's very kind of you to take the trouble to provide another recommendation. I appreciate it0

On BikeForums.net, there is a whole forum dedicated to Lighting and Gadgets. You got the condensed version right there.0

Well, I sure went out with a bang, right? I'm okay with it though because I got a whole lot of yard work done this week so I didn't need to bike. I hope to start October with a ride tomorrow, but I'm not promising myself because I'll be in a lot of pain from today's activities.
Great job for September, everyone!0 -
