It's getting a bit darker now and I'm looking for a decent set of lights for my bike. It's mostly used on quiet, unlit country roads, so I need something to see where I'm going and amke sure that people see me. There are too many idiots around.
Anyone got any recommendations? up to around £50 for a set.
Some of the Catseye sets look OK, but I've got little first hand experience of them.

Another vote for Cateye.
You can buy a front and rear together for around £40.
I've had mine for a few years and use them each day in the winter months.

Used to use CatEye lights, but for the last couple of years have been running SMART RL1 rear, probably the brightest rear light in the world, so I have two of them mounted to my rear rack. They are rated at 1watt so around 100 Lumens, the also do a .5watt version 50 lumens which has a longer run time, both use two AAA batteries.
For the front I use a SMART Egg White light, 2watt or 200 Lumens, very bright compact light running of two AA batteries, they also do a 1watt version that has a longer run time.
