To aid my morning-dark commute, I use both. the LED has a flashing mode, I rely on that for others to see me, and the incandescent bulb throws just enough...
If you're riding on dark roads it's worth saving up your money for a halogen light with rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery. If you're riding on lit...
I have used two Cat Eye LED lights ( EL-300 and EL-500 ) in the past and they worked very well in an urban environment but lately I have been using a 15 watt...

Does your wife have high blood pressure? I would check with a Doctor. I do know from personal experience that you can get a bad headache if you mix high blood...
The only thing I can think of is her helmet may be too tight. When blood starts to flow at a higher rate a tight helmet can be the culprit to constricted...
