That will give my one steady tailight and one blinkie, plus a reflector. When I add on my bike reflectors and my reflective pannier and ankle bands, I'll probably end up looking like a friggin x-mas tree!
Don't be too surprised if you have reliability problems. I picked up a NiteHawk Raptor (10w halogen) in March, and I've already had to have the battery and the switch harness replaced (under warranty, fortunately). On the plus side, the light itself does a fine job of illumination and recharges quickly. I just wish it was something I could really depend on.
