And it's about $180, so it's justified only if you're going to use it a heck of a lot.

The battery on the light you bought is fairly big, and it needs a lot of charging current. To provide that much current with solar, you'd probably need panels covering the entire bike and your entire body. So as I said before, plug it in every night and consider getting a spare.
