Help-I want a lighting system

I have searched high and low for opinions on lighting systems
and have found some. Most reviews are geared twards touring or made by the companies selling them. Please guide me in my quest for a good battery opperated system for a road bike.

I want to know if a halogen lamp in the 15W range is sufficent for most uses. Are the ARC lamps worth the extra cost? Is one system more dependable than the other? How long do the ARC bulbs last? The halogen bulbs? Do the balast in the ARC lamps cause any extra head aches?:confused: Man am I full of questions.

The system I am pulled twards is the Solo Logic by Light and Motion with the adjustible beam and rapid charger it uses a 7.4 volt pack and I could use packs from RC cars as extras ( I have chargers that can handle this type of pack already). If the ARC system is decidedly better Cygo light or Night Rider blow torch may be in the runing. Is the extra light output of ARC worth the cost? Do you have an opinion on either of the mentioned ARC systems?

Are there other systems I should look into? I have gleened a wealth of help from BF already, Thanks.
