Anything that keeps you from getting run over is not overkill. Those little 9 led flashlights are showing up just about everywhere for about $2 each. I use rechargeable AAA batteries, and some strips of bicycle inner tube to strap a few onto my handlebars to point at slightly different angles. It makes a huge difference, and it's cheap and effective.
