Gotta disagree. I use Busch & Muller 4D Toplights as reflector &
lamp, and have one or two Cateye TL-AU100 in flashing mode for backup.
And on the back of my bike bag, a RealLite :-D

The B&M has LEDs in the edges for all-round visibility, and the Cateye
does that, too. Smaller oval rear LEDs don't work half as well. The
old VistaLight rectangular ones used to be quite good.
