I have a friend who uses a little knog lights on his hubs. If you were okay with that method, you could try it with the Blackburn Flea, which is tiny but rechargeable. Otherwise, hose little watch batteries are just awful, they're expensive and don't last very long.
That being said, I think spoke lights are fun, but my feeling is that they aren't bright enough to be seen during the day, and are less bright than reflectors after dark. What I really like are Schwalbe tires with the reflective sidewalls - they are surprisingly bright and offer a large reflective surface area.
