I am inclined to agree with this. Not just because of habit. But because of personal experience. Don't buy PlanetBike lights for the rear, because they are not bright enough and a waste of batteries. After I was rear-ended in broad daylight with Planet Bike taillight set to strobe, I went and got this: http://media.performancebike.com/ima...-NCL-ANGLE.jpg

It is far brighter, and USB rechargeable.

For a headlight: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes...400158__400158, I could never find anything bright enough. This is far brighter than anything I have tried, and it is also USB rechargeable.
