is that Dinotte ultralight 5w LED good enough for trail riding at dark or just for average street riding.

Ah answered my own question :

Here is a great review of that light:

Because of its LED nature it would last much longer than Halogen or HID lights and thus make its high cost overcome the others IMO and its simple battery pack setup means I can make a DIY battery pack easy to make it last longer than the stock time. Untill I stroll across a better system I think this will be the light I end up buying, small, simple, effective. Very good light.
They say the light reviewed goes three hours on MEDIUM setting not high.

You can get an HID light that will go four hours for that much money and will be so much brighter you will wonder why you were ever interested in LED lights.

HID is much more efficient than LED. Much more effective. Read the very first post in this thread if you want to learn about efficiency of different bulbs. On line there is plenty of info about this.
