I have a Serfas SL-200, which is good enough for being seen, & for reflecting off of street signs, but not so much for anything else.

Everyone seems to agree that Planet Bike SuperFlashes are the best taillight (and I have TWO of them), but is there a headlight that is equally agreeable?
Why waste your money and risk your life on a dinky low power AAA/AA powered light?

Even with all the tech advances today in lighting it takes amps,volts & watts to provide really safe
lighting for road use. A DIY 12V battery light is far better investment.
