Bike lights for touring

Hey all! Couldn't find any threads for this topic so thought I'd make one...apologies if there already is one.

Am currently 2 and half months into a tour from Thailand to somewhere (currently in India) and have been encountering an issue with the shortening days - lighting myself up at night! I don't ride so often at night but with darkness getting nearer and nearer it's always nice to be lit up!

Currently I have a tubus front rack and have a small rubbish light fitted to the front, I also wear a headlamp. On the back is another rubbish $5 light. My biggest problem is finding places on the bike to put lights on. Considered handlebars but not much room there. Back rack is the same problem as the tent obscures the light quite a lot.

My question then is how to get around bike light placement and also any good brands out there.

Many thanks for any help!
Andrew
