I would like to revive this thread to ask a related question.

I already have an acceptable hub dynamo headlight (DLumotec Oval 1 watt LED) for seeing the road, and mainly ride in urban areas with amble streetlights. I also have a PBSF and a wired dynamo taillight (B&M DToplight). I play to upgrade the headlight to a IQ Cyo (3 watt LED), next winter.

However, I would like a small battery-powered headlight to mount on the handlebars, for improved visibility to oncoming and crossing traffic at twilight and at night. I currently have a Planet Bike Beamer light. I like it, but the beam is very focused on a 10 degree circle straight ahead; I have that covered with the lumotec headlight.

I want a AA or AAA powered headlight, with the ability to flash, but with a very wide beam angle, at least 45 degrees to each side. The beam straight ahead should be somewhat stronger, but I don't want it to drop off precipitously at 10 degrees. I also don't want a 2 watt Planet Bike Blaze on strobe / superflash mode, because I think that would be too distracting and dazzling to motorists (and me!), and I want to save my money for the IQ Cyo

The Planet Bike Sport Spot (http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Bike-Bi...pr_product_top) might work, but I don't really need the headband or helmet mount, and $30 seems a bit expensive for 4 small LEDs.

Are there any other small AA or AAA headlights like this, with a very wide beam? Has anyone tried the Sport Spot?
