I absolutely agree with Seth's point that battery operated lights are wasteful. Generators are great if you don't have to move it from bike to bike, and if you are riding alot at night. My night rides top out at about 1 hour max and I have 3 different wheel sizes. I have found the Planet Bike 2Watt works really well with long battery life, even with rechargables. I have mounted two of them on my commuter, on either side of the Nitto mini-front rack. Lots of light even at the 1Watt setting, and easily transferred to other bikes or removed when parked.
Here is a picture of my tourer/commuter. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79695...@n00/4601203765/in/set-72157607471577085/ Since then, the Light&Motion has been moved to my wife's bike, with another nob and PB 2Watt mounted on the other side of the rack.
