I need a light (helmet or bar mounted) for trail riding at night. It also has to have replaceable batteries as I will have no ability to recharge. I understand a halogen bulb will shine farther than leds. Tell me what features/models I should be looking for.
Look at the Dinottes. They use regular AA batteries (alkaline or rechargable). The handlebar mount is 5w and has a wide spread. The helmet mount is 3w and has a narrow beam. They are both tiny and (in my experience) completely indestructible.
The best thing is to use both together. I love mine.... they stay on the bar/helmet all the time.
The DiNotte 3/5 combo seems perfect except that the batteries seem to only last 2hrs on high. This means carrying extra batteries. Also, they are $300.

Yeah, the extra batteries weigh nothing. You won't even notice them.
re price I'd be surpised if you find something cheaper that suits you better
