planet bike lights

on my way home from work i decided to stop by the REI near Roadrunner sports. i was looking for a front light and a tail light... there were a few i looked at it. some have 3 LEDS and some had just one bright LED. i didn't want to spend a lot on front light since i wont be riding too much in the evening time. after an hour or debating what i should get...

originally i was looking at the cat eye 5 LED horizontal tail light... but when i was walking around i saw a planet bike display... they had a whole bunch of different lights. there superflash tail light is brighter than the cat eye but $10 more... so i decided to go with the planet bike clear tail light with the red leds. the clear tail light matches my bike well... the brighter LEDS allow me to be more noticble during my rides.

another item that caught my eye was the blaze headlight. they have a 1/2 watt one and 1 watt one. i compared both and there is a siginificant difference between the two. the 1 watt was white and looked great. so without reading any reviews i decided to get that one as well... when i got home i found two positive reviews...
