.. Something small ish and bright (to fit on a road bike if that has any bearing) but fairly cheap (not asking for a lot am I?) ?
Thanks and hugs
there's the annual On-One smart lunar saleathon.
I like the smart rear lights. It's like a disco for my butthole.

[url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/LIPHBPDRL/phaart-bleep-dual-05-watt-led-rear-light ]Or better yet[/url], essentially the same thing for ~1/4 the price, still got one from last year does the job well IMO.
Pulls up chair after my lights fell off while commuting in last week.
On the front I'm using a Cateye Volt 300 which you can pick up for about £40 seems well made and is a very neat package which rakes no time to swap between bikes or shove in a pocket if you're leaving your bike somewhere insalubrious. USB charging good light output, nice focused beam and a good pulse mode for dusk.
Define "cheap". Exposure Strada Mk2's are £75. This is 480 lumens of well designed light with excellent build and customer support. It's the last commuting light you'll need. It is not the smallest package, however.
Cheap = £30-£40 ish?!
I've got a set of cheapish cateye somethingorothers but the front one in particular is a bit rubbish!
leyzene zecto are nice. ~ 40 quid for the set.

The Strada is better value for money by far.

I use one of these bargain front lights. Good flashing action, nice n bright (more of a "be seen" than "to see") - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230593201762

I'm sporting these with an extra Zecto on the front.. if you buy them singlularly the front is £18 in Evans at the mo..
I use them not for beam, but so others can see me around that Lonjon, tend to have them on intermediate flash.
USB rechargable too, but also can charge from a micro SD charger..
