blinkys Fix it, repair it, how do I do it, what's the best part to use, and now: how do I get there?

Looks like I finally lost my front and rear flashies.

For the rear I am getting the planetbike superflash because it is fucking irritating and I hate epileptics.

Recommendations on a front light? I had an ultrafazer five from 2006 on the front. It was the cylindrical design that was later copied (I believe) by planet bike. I loved it. It was extremely hardy and the battery life was awesome.

I like the design of the newer, boxier ultrafazers, but word on the street is that they had a defect that drained the batteries. Does anyone know if this problem has been fixed? Or should I go with a cat eye or another maker?

I just got the Planet Bike one watt Blaze, and it is pretty darn bright. It will actually light up a dark trail pretty well. Plus there is a super epileptic-hating flash setting for people who like being confused with emergency vehicles. Retails around 45 bucks.

I also have the one watt Blaze. The flash setting is so bright that it's embarrassing at times.
