Lighting for commuting bike

[Arlingtonrider]

With the days starting to shorten soon, I would really appreciate some recommendations from regular commuters about a good light or lighting system to install on my commuting bike, which I use primarily on trails. I’ve found some information on the net, but mixed reviews regarding stability of mounts, etc., and some of the information might be out of date and not take new products into account. I commute about 50 minutes each way, and would like something that doesn’t require nightly recharging. The guy I spoke to at the bike store was helpful, but was not a commuter and obviously was recommending products sold by that store. Any suggestions? Also, I’ve heard about people using helmet lights to see the trails, and am wondering if that is a good idea too and what kind people have found best. Thanks in advance for any responses.
