Lights and shoes

[thewave]

My bike ride home involves biking along a lake, over mud, sand, stones and more annoyingly boat slipways. During daylight, these are all no problem, but i've started struggling at night, and there's literally only moonlight for about a mile, and i've not once seen another person using the route at night as it's actually quite a difficult route (plenty of chances of slipping unoticed into the sea )

I used to have 2 fairly small LED lights (one pointing directly onto the ground to avoid immediate objects - poo and the other up front to see if anyone had left a pole or anything sill overhanging the path) , but one broke and I never got it fixed, and I think it would be useful to get lights.

So help from the masses please.

Budget around £100
Good burn time, ride home is about 30mins max, I usually take my time in the dark.

Also

Shoes and pedals. On my other bike I had clip on shoes and pedals, but felt uncomfortable as I had a need to put feet down fairly regularly. I see the DMR V8 pedals get a good recommendation on here, but are there any particularly good shoes that work with these, or just normal ones?

I'm no pro, but would like to start doing a few trails.

Thanks

Regarding lights for proper off-road use, I've got a 20 watt mid-beam halogen li-ion Lumicycle setup (but that's nearly double your budget). However, if you stretch your budget a little you can get a NiMH setup for £130:

or a li-ion setup for £140 (using the smaller capacity Elite battery):

Really good lights and allow me to ride off-road at near day light speeds

Not sure about shoes. I use DMR V8s with some Columbia hiking type shoes which work great but I've read good things about Five Ten Impact 2 Low shoes:

so am very tempted to get some myself in the near future.

Not available yet, but for under £100, this would get my vote:

Ok, will have a look

Got a nasty puncture yesterday (tyre got split too) so bike's going in to have new tyre and a few bits changed. Having the pedals changed, a new chain and few other bits (it gets rusty quickly when having to regularly bike through sea water - I rinse every night, but it sits in the office all day from the morning ride)

Will see what they have light wise, if nothing floats my boat, might hang on for those Hopes
