Cateye 1100 is great. Really, really visible and you can set 2 different light patterns of it.
Some fker nicked mine though!

Moon Comet. Slim, bright, saddle rail mount and a seatpost mount, vertical or horizontal, USB rechargeable. So good I bought a front one too for bright daytime flashing. £20 for rear or both for around £30.
I was going to buy a [battery] Exposure Flare but the LBS chap persuaded me to spend £10 less on the Comet.

I must admit, I quite like the idea of having two lights. The reason being that if the batteries fail when I'm out then I'm unlikely to notice immediately so would be unlit for a time.
But if I have two sets then when one dies the other will keep going. So when I spot I've one set out I change the batteries in that one (always carry spare batteries) and at least there hasn't been a time when I've been riding unlit, if that makes sense?

I couldn't recommend this idea enough. I have two fronts and two rears, a cheapo pair (£4 from Amazon) and a reasonable pair. Recently both rears have been susceptible to the bad weather; having no mudguards and both vertically above the rear wheel means they get really soaked with spray, mud and grit. Ironically, the expensive (ish) Cateye won't turn on, but the cheapo LED locks constantly on instead of flashing. This has happened to me twice so I now have back up pair of the cheapies tucked into a pocket and have splashed out on two newer better rears; one on the saddle and one on the seat stay.But if I have two sets then when one dies the other will keep going.

I would also recommend carrying a head torch for longer night rides, fixing a puncture in dalylight can be hard enough!
