[MENTION=267231]twodownzero[/MENTION], let me reiterate, get the best headlight you can afford. A dynamo powered tail light is nice but you can use a battery powered one instead of that works for you. You don't have to recharge them often. I use a dynamo powered tail light (which is steady), a battery powered tail light (set to flash) and also a spoke light. It is an economical combination for rear and side visibility. I use only one headlight. I also use reflective bands on my ankles. The spoke light uses a watch battery which lasts for months.
