But seriously, battery powered LED lights for $500 will absolutely light up the road.
Convenience and run time, even with efficient l.e.d setups for poeple who do really long rides (like 1000(s)km straight) it gets difficult to manage the batteries so you have enough juice. For commuting however I would find the cost a bit much as you will always have the opportunity to recharge.
