IMO, an 18650 based flashlight up front, a Cygolite Hotshot in the back. About $75 total including 2 batteries and charger.
Don't laugh, but I went not only for the Blaze, I had the Planet Bike Beamer too...
The 2W Blaze died a good death. The wifee got mad at me one day, and slung a helmet with the Blaze attached to it, it died!! I still got the Beamer. I let the wife walk the dog with that light!!
I wouldn't dare put either one of them on any of my bikes again!! If you don't know, you don't know. When I purchased the Blaze and the Beamer lights, I didn't know!!
