Single LED lights - advice from a motorcycle courier

A good rear light is cheap. A good front light is expensive. Simple. I don't have cash to spunk on a good front light. I do, however, wear a fluoro jacket which I despise. Not having money to buy a less fluoro jacket actually makes me safer. Who would have thought?

Depends what you want that front light to do. If its just to be seen, exactly the same as your rear but in white is perfect.

But if its to illuminate the street I see your point.
