Related advice: I've fallen in love with head lamps, the LED things that 
strap to one's forehead. Harbor Freight used to cheaply sell, or even 
give away, one that I have several copies of. It would be perfect for 
the task you describe above. I no longer see that exact model on their 
website, but they have others, including ones selling for less than 3 
bucks.

One friend of mine regularly invites me to do night rides on a 
particular bike trail. I find the head lamp very handy for taking bikes 
off his car's rack, then later putting them back on.

P.S. I keep meaning to run lights to the attic of the garage, but the 
job never seems to rise to the top of the list.
