Depends. There's cheap battery lights and there's cheap dynamo lights. If you've killed a light or killed a wheel then that's a good time to think about going the dynamo route. It's a pain if you want to swap out a perfectly functional wheel and light combo with dynamo stuff.
Actually can some bored nerd do the maths on how many miles you'd need to ride with dynamo lights to offset the electricity used to charge battery lights? I'm guess a lot.

Depends what you want, I've got one set up which is on my main Audax bike which was a bit more spendy, but I can charge stuff etc
On my fixed I got a cheap shimano wheel from Spa Cycles (circa £120) and a low cost B&M light (£30) which is good enough for night riding on roads etc

Wowzers, Dynamo hubs/lights aren't cheap are they.
Looks like I'm going to be charging by USB for a while!
