Flashlight for bike?

What kind of flashlight do you guys keep on your bike? I'm looking for something incase of night time emergencies. Rechargeable would be cool, doesn't matter much to me though, just that it's bright and has a decent burn time. Not worried about thieves, the bike doesn't get parked out of sight of me.

I have a Princeton Tec 4 LED headlamp.

Gee... I dunno

For emergencies and such...

I had one... till I lost the damn thing.
Very small and rugged, I never replaced the battery in 4 years, bright enough to work on a bike, and unlike sooo many lights, it won't roll away from where you put it!

I really should order another one....

I do keep a cranklite in my tank bag but old school zippo has worked for a light many times.

I've had a Petzyl Tika for years and it's taken abuse quite well and kept working.

Browsing around some of the bike sites today, found this one:

Seems neat....

I carry a Phenix PD32on me but also a headlamp on the bike.

Ever look under the hood of an older GM truck? Near the battery is an emergency light. It has a switch and an aprox 15 foot cord with a fold out crank handle to reel it back up. There is a locking lever to hold it in the stowed position. The light itself has a hook and a suction cup as I recall.
Anyway, I have one wired up and attached under the seat of my Buell. I tried to install an led bulb in it but it was too big. Works great for camp setup and such.

Keep it simple. I keep a Petzel LED headlamp in jacket at all times. Under the seat I keep an LED Maglite (AA). As last resort, my smartphone flashlight app.

I really liked the little LED Lenser P4 I had, it was small, compact (about the size of a pen) and was bright enough for emergency situations... sucks that it got lost somewhere

I was thinking of adding a cig lighter outlet to the KLR and popping in one of those small cig lighter LED lights, like this one:

Cheap and gives a nice flood of light. I keep them in my other vehicles too.

I remember those!

I actually have one of those

I have a small collection of flashlights lying about the house, but wanting something specific for the bike. The cig lighter light is beginning to get more appealing the more I think about it...

Look into a Sunwayman D40A. I ended up buying 3 for gifts as they literally blew my mind. Easily bright enough to replace your headlight if needed and still has a moon mode that is perfect for a tent light. 4xAA as well.

+1 on the Petzl Tikka, and a Photon Micro-Light II in the pocket at all times.

I actually have a couple of petzels around the house

I think I'm just going to go with the cig lighter lamp. That seems to fit my needs the best.

But keep on sending in the suggestions, I like buying flashlights anyways

I really like lights by foursevens. They use the newest and brightest LEDs available. This one uses AA batteries and I would use non-rechargeable lithium batteries because they hold their charge for a long time in storage. http://www.foursevens.com/products/MA-AE You could purchase the single cr123 light that uses rechargeable lithium batteries if you need the rechargeable option.
