Hi
Why not build your own.
I use two of these for Headlights. One will do. I just wanted more light. One light is 300 Lumens so with two I have 600 Lumens. The flood lights really catch the drivers eye.

I just use a 7 AMP hour sealed battery.
For a tail light I use a LED trailer light it is bright enough to light up street signs over 2 blocks away.

I considered a Petzl Tikka XP 2 Core headlamp mounted to the bike, but never seen one in action. Nite Ize also sells a front lamp for about $45 and it's quite bright.
What are people using these days? I want bright and I want it decently priced - maybe about $100. Less is ok, but not much over $100. I'm not made of money, but where my safety is concerned, I don't mind shelling out SOME cash.
Thanks for any info you can throw my way
