I thought about strapping a high powered flash light to my helmet, but changing the batteries every hour might get irritating.
If run times that long are really important, I'd suggest searching the posts of, and contacting, forum member Burton. He's got what I think are some really interesting light setups that deliver extraordinary run times. I don't know all the particulars, but he's done a lot of work and posted quite a bit on what are essentially LEDs for a non-bike application adapted to bicycle use, and I think they'll be of interest to you.
