I looked at the Niterider 3600 on Amazon which is a little expensive ($560) but if it keeps me safe, I'll buy it. Niterider also has some tail lights & since they seem to have a good reputation, I'm guessing they are good too. I'm open to suggestions.

What are you using? I don't do a lot of night riding, but may start if I get a good enough light and I can switch it from my road bike to my commuter easily.
Dogmama, I did a blog post on lights, to see and to be seen by. Here's the link http://pedaltohealth.blogspot.com/2013/10/lights.html

There's also a post about monkey lights with a video, however I feel that those are most beneficial viewed from the side, like on a cross street, it can be found here
