The problem casual bikers and bike lights, as I see it, is that they often park outside and have their lights stolen. Bike light makers seem to rely on theft to keep up revenue streams, and in way of thanks to thieves, they make the bike lights easier and easier to steal (I'd reckon that most light thefts are not for the vast used bike light market, but are by drunks and hooligans who like bright blinky things). I'd love to see a simple LED light that semi- permanently affixes to the handlebars, and requires at least a screwdriver to take off, and breaks if removed incorrectly.

And, this may be controversial, and indeed I would have argued against it earlier in my life (pre-LED), but I'd like to see citations issued for lightless bikes at dark.
