MANY THANKS!!! I don't paying a bit for a good light more since safety is an issue. Luckily, I won't be on the road for more than a 1/2 mile to and from the trail (well lit w/streetlamps), but as I said, there are some dark patches on the trail where I have my "training loop." It's surrounded by nature---trees w/acorns/nuts that litter the path and a good bit of wildlife for the city---so I will be happy w/as much light as possible. Those darn acorns are unforgiving and can take you out if you hit them right!

Well, we get lots of rain. Yesterday on a charity ride we had cold misty fog, enough to make it almost impossible to see through cycling lenses, warm sun and clear skies on a big climb and through a farming area, then back down into cold and fog, big afternoon headwinds, and finished back in sun--at least 3 seasons, and definitely a layering challenge!

Speaking of rain - do any of these halogen 10 watt lights have a waterproof claim? Today was the first morning I rode with lights in a fairly heavy rain and I was wondering how long my lights could withstand the downpour. I'm seriously considering a halogen 10/15 watt but I need waterproof too.
