I agree that those square batteries die all too soon.  My Union came
with its own generator, headlight, and taillight, and they add little
to my effort.  (To be sure, Buffalo is pretty flat.) I have had to
replace the headlight once since I bought the bike in '80.

I've also used armlights.  Handy, but not too bright and all too
forgettable.

Anyway, I've often been glad I used a light.  My only collision was
with another cyclist.  He was riding lightless, on the wrong side
of the street, in a blizzard.
