The LEDs look promising but they still have a ways to go. A $3 20W 12 MR-16 puts out twice as much light. Juice it up and it'll put out nearly 4 times as much light. The LED may beat halogen in weight and run time but a halogen will out do just about anything else that is small enough to put on a bicycle
