Richard Cranium and socalrider:

Since I ride with pretty bright bar light (700 Lumen Strykr), I decided to go with a little brighter torch than the s-mini for the helmet to avoid washout, actually the one referenced in the OP.

In honor of Cyber Monday, I splurged a little this morning. I put away a buck for every hour of riding I do in my piggy bank, then I usually use it twice a year or so to spend on whatever I want, be it an expensive pair of bibs or in this case, some new torches. I ended up picking out several new ones to supplement my growing light collection, including two helmet lights:

I'll report back on these after they arrive in a couple of weeks. Since I am rapidly becoming a flashaholic (an order of magnitude below both of you and Colleen, of course), I also picked up a 'fun' light that I'll probably never use on a bike:

This one received some great reviews from the friendly light geeks over at budgetlightforums.com. I'll probably only use it to find my black dog out in the yard on a dark night or to blow away friends with it's awesomeness....

Finally, I picked up some spare batteries to power the above and 3 different universal bike mounts, just to see how they perform.
