Today I saw one guy with balacalava, helmet, massive light on the helmet, twin lights on the handlebars with remote battery pack, the wheel lights that make pretty patterns, bar end lights and 3 rear lights. Even by my standards this was overkill.
Then there was Colnago man, a few grands worth of carbon bike 10.30 in the evening and he still has to get back to Esher. Cheap bastard only had one of those shitty Knog rechargeable lights on the rear, and it was out of juice. Possibly this would have been ok, but he rode like an utter bellend, 25 mph through Wandsworth weaving in and out of traffic, never once even looking behind himself.
Finally twat with lights only on his helmet, but he had the rear light facing forward and front light to his rear.
Get Some Fucking Lights, but if you have them know how to fucking use them and in an appropriate fashion.
