My girlfriend will start cycling to work a couple time a week as it gets lighter, morning and evening, as well as the odd occasional recreational lights.

She's got an old bike but recently serviced in readiness for the above.

But she hasn't got any lights, so would like to surprise her with a pair.

A cyclist colleague recommended this set: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/lezyne-hecto-drive-500xl-ktv-pro-pair-black-black/

Seems good to me. Before I buy it, any other alternatives to consider, or a similar price?

Looks decent enough..
There is a set that's the same but with a 600 front light for only a couple of quid more but that said, 500 is more than enough for commuting and assuming they have the same size battery should last a bit longer between charges.

I have a cateye volt 500 and don't tend to use it on full brightness even on pich black canals.
