Stay away from junky battery operated lights, that the cyclist has to constantly throw out dead batteries to buy new ones'. Batteries like Every Ready, Energizer, or Duracell, you should stay away from.

Buy a bike light, rated in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumens

They are usually USB-Rechargeable.

I am presently using a headlight that is rated at 600 Lumens. I get honks from some motorists', that my light is too bright. There are some lights available, that are 3600 lumens.
