[QUOTE=Andy_K]Really, I think the more you spend the happier you'll be with the light.[QUOTE]

I strongly disagree with that. Go to the Electronics, Lighting, & Gadgets forum and check out the The best headlights under $50 thread. You say your on a budget and don't want to spend a crazy amount on a light. You can get a excellent Cree flashlight for 1/4 of what some of the bicycle-specific lights cost. And they'll be brighter. You'll be seen. And they light up the road in front of you. And some of them don't get washed out in streetlights. I've had my Romissen RC-N3 for 2 years now. It's handled -14 to 80 degrees. And still going strong. It's 110 lumens. The newer ones are 220 lumens for the same price. I had a Cateye HL-EL 500 Opticube which was junk compared to the Romissen. You'll be amazed at what $25 can get you. You can get a handlebar mount for about $15 or make one out of a used innertube. That's what I use and it works great. Don't believe all you hear. You don't have to spend $200 or $100 on a light. For what your looking for. A Cree Flashlight will surpass your expectations.
