[QUOTE=TromboneAl;16078628]I was hoping for a few specific recommendations. I'd like to keep it under $50, with AA or AAA batteries, and all contained in one small unit.

I'd guess that you won't be able to get sufficient light for daytime visibility at $50.00. Can you upgrade to a unit that gives you plenty of light with power settings that you can use day or night? With most tools, especially with bike lights, I don't regret getting more than I think I need - I'm always glad I go more. Yes, I gotta pay for it, just sayin'.

Also, is the protocol for bike lights to have a SOLID white light on the front and the rear to be flashing (red), not the front flashing?
