Have you considered the L&M arc? If riding in cold temps or weight is important, then go with the li-ion battery. If normal riding, a NiMH battery should work. Unfortunately the li-ion batteries are more expensive. The other thing you should know is that they have a life of 3 years from manufacture. This is separate from recharge cycles. Here we tend to have some cold weather in the winter, so I want to go with an ARC light. I don't have the light yet, so can't give actual review but the specs looks impressive.
All LED's are too low powered yet. Maybe in a couple of years they will be strong enough, but not there yet. They are ok for being seen, but not ok for seeing.
Good luck.
