I guess you could say it was a happy accident. I would have much rather known this was coming, but then maybe I wouldn't have gone that route.

I have some cheap lights permanently installed on my bike - there's always a 50/50 chance that I'll be coming home in the dark on any commutes.

A nice cheap headlight is the Cateye Compact Opticube. It's light, it's cheap, and significantly brighter than all of the other $30 lights I looked at. I bought two and have one aimed out ahead and the other aimed into the "black hole" space right in front of the wheel. Then I usually have one set on solid and the other on blink.
