It's Nearly That Time Again - Bike Lights!

[Trevelyan]

When I cycle to work in the mornings it's becoming obvious that the days are starting to draw in again. I'm already having to use a rear light for part of the journey and I'm sure it'll not seem long before the journey will be in darkness the whole way

This is the first year I've used a bike for commuting. I have got the option of driving through the winter but would rather be able to use the bike once or twice a week just to keep my hand in. Half of the journey is through town and on major A roads with cycle paths so no real problems there, but the remainder is on unlit, twisty and fast (NSL) rural roads and I also do a few miles on byways and bridleways.

My current LED lights will be fine for the urban sections but I need to get something decent for the rest. These seem to get good reviews and seem to be excellent value for money:

Has anyone else tried these? Also can anyone recommend any decent rear lights? I don't want anyone approaching me from behind on an unlit road at 60mph to be in any doubt that I'm there

Thanks all - some good food for thought there. I'll press the button on the deal extreme light and report back on my findings, and have a look at the rear light options mentioned as well.
