I use a dyno headlight, which I'm very happy with. I also have a dyno powered tail light on steady, and a battery powered light that flashes. If I am riding long distances, I have a backup AAA battery powered headlight. I carry spare batteries. Never had to use the battery powered headlight, knock wood. I almost always have a helmet light, that's far superior to any headlight for flats. In fact, I am known to wear my helmet off the bike when the helmet light is useful to me. This has the added advantage of eliciting entertaining insults from my family.
