floods, spots, or one of each?

Rode the MUP that will become part of my new commute route. As it was in daylight, I am unsure about what kind of lighting will actually be present. Did notice that there are some stretches that have a fairly large drop off on one side, and a couple on both sides of the trail. No guardrails or retention barricades or warning signs posted that I could see either.

I currently have a Coleman LED 3xAAA that I got from wally world. I generally mount it to my helmet with a rubber band (the beam doesn't twitch near as much on my head as on the bars, IMO). I'm not sure that one light will be enough to see by, especially since I have next to none night vision.

What kind of lighting set-up/mounts would you recommend? Keep in mind- DiNottes are not in the budget, and anything with a remote battery pack is out.
