Commuter Lights?

My lights are crap so I'm looking for some good 'uns for the coming nastiness. They'll only be for commuting so don't need to light the whole world up. Ideally under £70ish for a fr + rr set and able to recharge at work. Any advice appreciated.

Hope vision 1 front light is worth a look, plenty of bang for the buck http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOPE-VISION-1 ... 063wt_1195
As for a rear light i use 2 of the Smart Lunar R1 lights, cheap and bright as anything http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smart-Lunar-R ... 331wt_1397On One 456

I have the exposure flash/flare set for my bike http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=70065
Seriously bright, takes 2 seconds to attach/detach from bike, easy switch on and off even with gloves on and come with rechargeable batteries and charger.
You can probably find them for less than £70 if you shop round. Don't get the non-rechargeable ones though, the rechargeable batteries produce a brighter light and obviously are rechargeable.0 -
Hope Vision 1 is 64.95 at Ribble (can you say that word at the mo?) I want one, but have to wait till Payday when the wife gives me my pocket money.0

Not quite!
The Flash (Front) has more lumens with the rechargeable batteries AND a shorter running time.
The Flare ( Rear) has the same lumens with either battery but 3 x longer running time with rechargeables.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Moon Gem 2.0s. You can get the pair for just over £20, they're USB rechargeable and have plenty of power. I only use mine on the helmet and have some cateyes on the bike, but they are great, little lights for the price.0
