I've got a couple of these. Very bright. A few different modes, so you can pick your brightness and flashing sequence. On "high" and flashing at different rhythms, the things are impossible to miss even at fairly great distances. Where I live, there are several narrower, winding roads with tons of tree cover that blot out much of the light even during bright mid-day rides. Can be dangerous, unless the bike's lighting is stellar. IP64 dust/water resistant. IMO, the HyperShot 350 is. Can recharge via attaching a battery bank, or can remove and use USB to charge. One on the tail of your bike's rack or seatpost, and one on the rear of your helmet ... you'll be impossible to miss.

For a headlight, take a look at CygoLite's Metro Pro and Ranger series of headlights -- CygoLite Metro Pro 1100. Or perhaps the Ranger 1500 or 1800 Endurance, if you want similar controls but much brighter output.

I've got the MP 1100. It's bright enough for me, great for an urban environment where being seen is vital. Control over the brightness and flash sequences. USB charging.
