Regarding helmet lights, I also have a Light & Motion Vis 360 and love it. Mine is the lower-powered version but it is bright enough for me even running on low because I am using it mainly to get drivers' attention rather than see the road. However, on high it is powerful enough to use as a backup light. I get more than 4 hours of run time off a charge. The taillight is very bright, and the entire unit is very light weight so you hardly even notice it.
Correct, I use a Cygolite Mitycross 480 for my helmet light, in the city it's on flash mode and I can aim it at motorists setting at cross streets etc to get their attention and it works. I had a motorist trying to run a stop sign I was slowing but aimed the light as well into his window, he looked and panic slammed the brakes. The look on his face was something else!
