Lights?

LED lights are great. Picked up wilma 6 and I'm quite happy with it. You can program three separate power settings, anywhere from 1% to 100%, fast on and off with lots light for trail riding. The unit comes fully load with all accesories including car charger. Only negative is it aint cheap. Also picked up a MiNewt X2 and Dinotte 200L. These units are quite diminutive in size and comparable in cost and light output. I can use either for the fully loop. Big difference, at least for me, is the 200L comes with both helmet and and bar mount vs just bar mount for the Minewt. I think both units have batteries that last 3+ hrs on full power. Both units also have high and low settings. One last thing, I prefer helmet mount but you have to have well fitting helmet or it will tilt into your eyes (maybe its just me).

i am runnning the minewt x2 dual, gives off good light, but the battery life sucks. I also lost one of my rubber o-rings that clamp the light to the handlebars, called up NiteRider today and they are shipping 4 new o-rings for FREE...can't beat that

What about the TridenX LED Li-Ion? I'm looking for a light and came across this. Any thoughts?

Tilt housing and an over-molded battery box offer increased comfort, security, and function. Compact and lightweight, the Helion runs on three AAA batteries and is a reliable workhorse-an excellent three-season headlamp for climbing, caving and mountain biking.
