My lights are all in storage limbo, so I went to an LBS and came out with one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/5-LED-Bicycle-Light-Headlight-Black/dp/B00127R8ZK
(My camera cable is also in storage, otherwise I'd post my own picture)
It's a beautiful design -- no moving parts, really. It took a little bit of elbow grease to stretch the silicon around my sfa handlebars enough to snap in place properly (the silicone skin has to fit over the power button just so). Best part: it's got a nice thin profile for my narrow handlebars.
I'm not sure how this light will perform in darkest conditions, but I think it will do pretty well for adding visibility in a variety of lighting conditions. It's got constant, flashing, and slow flash modes. They require cars here to have daytime running lights, so I figure the same probably applies for bikes.
