I use the inexpensive Planet bike 1 watt light and have used two of them mounted on my bar. These seem to have enough brightness for me to see fine up to about 18 mph. I'd love a Son 28 built on a A719 rim to match my back wheel but this combo with the lights is over $500. I can buy two 2 watt Plant bike lights for around $100 and get some AA rechargeable batteries and be fine I think. My 1 watt PB light is as bright as my Fenex L2d flashlight in the standard high power mode (107 lumens) so two 2 watt lights ought to be plenty. The only problem I can see is that these lights are not the best for oncoming traffic like the generator lamps are and some of the battery powered German made lamps.
