I typically research things ad nauseum, but I'm afraid I need to just order something immediately and I know nothing about good headlights. I see some people here like the "Magicshine" and it looks like some are even just mounting powerful flashlights on their bikes, but any recommendations would really be appreciated given my time constraints.
Thanks so much for your time and help.
The Magicshine is well regarded and quite bright. If your looking for something you can find over the counter have both the Nightrider MiNewt Mini-USB and the CygoLite Pace 135 LED Headlight that can be found at Performance Bike (if you have one close by).
