There is a whole section at this site that includes posts about lights https://www.bikeforums.net/electroni...hting-gadgets/.
At the top of the page you will see recommendations for headlights under $50. Just go to the last few pages for current information.https://www.bikeforums.net/electroni...50-thread.html

Lights in Motion does make very nice lights. For daytime running lights I use two USB rechargeable clones of the Lezyne Drive 100. They will run for about 6 hours between charges. I looked them up recently on eBay and they are available from US sellers for around $12 for the pair. The sun is very bright here in the desert and these still are effective even at the low cost. Of course the sky is the limit for some of these lights, particularly the ones that started out on kickstarter. I still haven't been impressed with any of them. I use a CREE XML-T6 LED flashlight for a night light. I live in a suburban area and the streets are well lit so I don't need more than the ~950 lumens it puts out. The flashlight runs on one NCR/Panasonic 3,400 mAh battery that can be switched out in an instant. You can't do that with most regular bike lights like the Lights and Motion lights.
