Just to prove that gambling doesn't pay....I have been commuting with my planet bike superflash on the rear of the bike and my light and motion solo logic light on the front. The other night, about a mile from home, I hit a bump and the front light bulb popped out of it's socket and I was in the dark. I had to navigate the last mile using the red superflash in one hand and the other hand on the handlebar. Once I got home, I immediately dug up my old Niterider led headlight and two more flashers for the rear. Pretty scary riding home with that red light. Here is my basic setup now.

:(I just ordered a Light & Motion Solo, doesn't sound promising. Regardless, i will also be running my night rover and also have a cateye 410 LED on the front. I believe in redundancy for the very reason you now do.

I must point out Portis...that it was a SERIOUS bump that I ran over :)
