Hi, firstly ,does anyone use a maglite aa LED on there bike or a varta headtorch?
Being petrified of getting lost in the dark in woods im looking for some advice on lights.
I was lucky enough to recieve some Cateye RC-230 (double halogen lights with big battery pack) and looked on the mnaufactures website and they claim 1-2 hours and knowing to take that with a pinch of salt i started wondering what else i should take for 2 hour rides in the dark.
I have a maglite aa led as backup in the camelback and a varta 1 led headtorch on my helmet so would that be adequate?
Also if you recommend i get a backup light are the Hope 1 led any good?
Thanks,
I now use 2 of these and carry 2 spare batteries and a tesco cheapo LED light. Looking at the Luminous light for bullet proof lighting but not just yet.

Have a search on here. You can get led toches from e bay / deal extreme.
£50 gets you a specific bike light, £30 a p7 torch which is bright enough to ride with easily. £10 for a 3w cree torch which is the minimum IMO
Depends how bright your maglite led is - a couple of 5mm leds will not be enough - a 3 w cree will be
