For a front light, I was thinking something like a Niterider 150-200(Mininewt) or Cygolite 150-200. Something in the 150-200 lumen range. Do you think something in this range would be adequate. BTW, there'll be some street lights(its not in the city, but its not out in the booneys). Thanks.
    I have the blackburn fleas, the minewt, a planet bike blinky, and a cateye (and several frogs). I use them all. However, I love the fleas the most because they attach to my helmet. Actually, they sell the helmet and lights here. http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodBL_2024007.html

    If I had gotten those first, I may not have gotten any of the others. I don't usually ride in full darkness, so they're enough light for my commutes, and add no weight and take no effort to attach.

    I have the single Stella (the 300). I use it in some pretty dark places and it light up everything pretty well. It's not a HID light - I wouldn't use it for night mt biking, but for commuting and even training at night in city/suburban areas its fine.
