I have three tail lights on my main commuter bike, if you can consider my spoke light a tail light. It's a good attention grabber, and it can be seen from the rear, so it's fair to call it a tail light. I also have a B&M D Toplight Plus, which is a dynamo powered light that lights up steady. And I have a Cygolite Hotshot which I set to blink.
I have two headlights, so to speak. The main one is a Philips Saferide, also dynamo powered. And I have a little bitty Nite Ize light dangling from my zipper drawstring; it runs on a watch battery. Basically, I have a lot of faith that my main headlight will work all the time. It hasn't failed yet.
The only failure I have had of my B&M tail light is that one of the wires came out, and I was able to put it back in. This light also serves as a very large reflector.
