These are the MVA specs for bike lighting in BC:

(6)	A cycle operated on a highway between 1/2 hour after sunset and 
1/2 hour before sunrise must have the following equipment:

(a)	a lighted lamp mounted on the front and under normal atmospheric 
conditions capable of displaying a white light visible at least 150 m in 
the direction the cycle is pointed;

(b)	a red reflector of a make or design approved by the Insurance 
Corporation of British Columbia for the purposes of this section;

(c)	a lighted lamp, mounted and visible to the rear, displaying a red 
light. 

(7)	Despite any other provision of this Act or the regulations, a 
cycle may be equipped with a flashing red light that is of a make or 
design approved by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia for the 
purposes of this section.
