However not something I would recommend because anything from 300 to 1000 lumens on the helmet should work just fine
How heavy is that setup, and do you run 2x batteries (remotely) for it in a backpack or keep them in a jersey pocket?

I just got a couple Dinotte XML-3 lights, and they're around 1000L each. I'm intending to get out on the MTB trails this weekend to test them out; but yeah, I wouldn't go rockin' 1000L onmy helmet on full blast for my commute to work.
