Wow. He's the Sheldon Brown of lights.
ETA:
I have used:
1. The older version of: http://www.serfas.com/product.asp?ProductID=296
For $30 - WOW. This is THE light for a pre-dawn start to a long ride. Or just to have on the bike "in case" you go later than expected and need something.
2. This: http://www.niterider.com/prod_moab.shtml
I use this as a headlamp - used it all night (quite literally) on my 600k as well as MOST of the night at DMD. It is a freaking flame thrower. I used the medium - low setting on the 600k, not having experience/confidence in the battery. The battery will last 12 hours EASY on the medium setting. Amazing light.
3. Two of these: http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/schm....asp#schmidte6 With a dynohub. For brevets, long non-hilly doubles. Early morning rides. Whatever. The self-sufficiency of a dynohub is wonderful. I would have used this on my 600k instead of the nite rider, but did not have them.
4. I always use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HVP5A2 On the rear if I will be out in dark. 2 of them.
