What lights do you ride with at night?

I ride through the center of Denver almost every night so I want to get a solid set of lights but I don't want something that is too bulky -- I definitely want people to see me though...

Any recommendations?

Topeak Hi-Lite Combo set.....light, durable, cheap, and unnoticabley (when off of course) small. So small that they never come off my bike.

I found a super bright LED combo on eBay. The light itself is very, very bright. I would not expect the plastic to take much abuse, though. But, for the price, it's fine and cars actually flash their high beams at me sometimes to dim my light!

I ride with a little red light on my rear, but I've saw a guy riding last night that was really noticeable. He was using the grip lights that wrap around handle bars and seat posts, ( not sure what they're called but they have a yellow case and take watch batteries). Any way he had three spread across his handle bars flashing at different intervals, very eye catching.

think they're called Gecho nights or something like that, they just wrap around your bars or seat really easily.

I'm in NYC and don't need headlights much. I have a double frog LED on my seat post and an LED badge thing attached to my messenger bag.. Let's the cars see me pretty well. There's a stretch of Greenpoint Brooklyn that pretty much becomes the darkest area i ride at night.
