Your favorite high-intensity headlight?

I don't know anyone who's not happy with Ay Ups - light, beautiful, see/be seen, reliable, flash/constant and awesomely bright.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on this. I need to test my existing light (Stella 120) to see how well it performs without street lights. I know it is fine as far as my being seen, but I need to see

I am curious about the Australian Ay Ups, and may check one of these out should my current Stella not serve. None of the better lights are value-priced, but their prices are not in the stratosphere. I am hoping that my Stella 120 will work though.

I could always add one of the less expensive lights mentioned in this thread in addition to the Stella 120 light if I need to until I can justify pulling the trigger on a more expensive lighting system. Thanks!

I love the Planet Bike lights. We have a lot hanging around and have the same clips on all our bikes so we can swap them around. The 2 watt is what my partner uses on his long rides in the country. I'm usually in town so I don't have any personal experience.

Dinotte are great, they are rather non-focused - ie really really good for off-road and some roadies don't like the spread. They are super light, super bright, super small, and easy to mount.
I'm thinking of ordering the ay-up for my velomobile, though.

I have a Dinotte and I love it.

TE has the Stella 150 light for approx $229 if I remember correctly. It is listed as favorite by the staff of TE.. if anyone has one of those light systems I'd like to know if the Stella 150 is bright enough for the dark trails. It can attach to your helmet or the handlebars. Looks really nice.

Not headlights, but a friend just posted this video comparison of three rear lights. I use a Super Flash (often in daylight as well) but have ordered a PDW RADBOT 1000 on the strength of it.
