Cree makes some outstanding LED's for flashlights! Shop e-Bay for best prices on LED flashlights, and lights for your bike. The inexpensive units work great on batteries, for short periods of time; if you try to hardwire them to the bike's power grid, for use as driving lights, they will burn out after 10 minutes, or so, of continued use (seriously lacking heatsinks, so the LED burns up). For flashlights, to carry on the bike, or casual usage, they're perfect, and very easy on the budget.
If you do not carry at least one LED flashlight on your bike, you need to! They're fantastic, brighter than any standard bulb type flashlight, and they are vibration-proof. Seriously, folks, you need an LED flashlight on your bike, for your own safety -- they're just amazingly useful. Cheers!
