What type of battery is best for these lights? Is it worth paying the extra for a bigger battery or would it be too heavy??

It usually comes with a battery which is fine....Should last 2.5/3 hours on high setting which is plenty for a night spin..... You wouldnt want a bigger batt as some people strap them to the helmet or put them in the back pocket if you have the light on the helmet.

It's personal preference really but most people seem to prefer them on their heads so you have light wherever you look.

You can also look behind to make sure nothing's following you whenever you get freaked out up at the hellfire club in pitch darkness, but maybe that's just me...   :D

Buy the one with the helmet mount anyway.... because it will also fit the bars.! Also make sure you get an ext cable cos it will give you options on where you want to store the battery.

I sold my triple-shooter and got one of these:
http://www.bikeray.co.uk/bikeray-ray-iii-1280-lumen-bike-light-set-with-open-light-4.5ah-battery.php?it=302&ca=60&p=1&so=0

gave it a test the other evening and it was very impressive - although more of a 'flood' light than a directed beam/spot
put it on the bars and coupled with my old L&M Arc the trails were lit up like it was like a summer's day!

sorry - I meant "the season formerly known as summer"

Mine arrived today but they never sent the helmet mount >:( >:( >:(

can the light be cable tied to the helmet or would that be too flimsy??
