I go with high wattage also: A NightHawk Dual (20 &10) on the handlebars, a Marwi nightpro 10 w helmet lamp, and another nightpro with a red lens added to be a bright taillight. I go for such a large amount of light because my commute is over portions of heavily traveled road, and includes some roads that are unlit by streetlights running through a nature preserve. In other words the only light out there comes from my lamps. Like Denver, as an older rider I need more light than I would have in my 20's & 30's. As a year-round rider, I give all my equipment high marks. Of course I am running out of outlets to plug chargers into.
