NiteRider's Lightning Bug series lights are an entry-level option with 1, 2, or 3 LEDs on a silicone strap-on light. This type of light is best used as a backup for if you get stuck out at night unexpectedly or just have to bike a few blocks on a well-lit street.

The Lightning Bug 1.0 is the 1-LED version of the series. We have not tested it in person, but it appears to be a fairly small light powered by CR2032 batteries, and with only a single LED it likely won't be bright enough for anything but being caught out after dark in an emergency. Many brighter lights are available for a similar price.
