2) I was thinking of having 1 set up with a better reflector, and another one to get a bit of flood around so I can see the peripheral objects.

3) It seems that I need some protected batteries, a charger that is more than 600mA, and the torches. Anything I am missing?

4) There are so many different models which is the best? I figured I should avoid trustfire. The ones I have been looking at are these:

Any other tips to get the best out of the lights?

Thanks

1: not really
2: actually, just one can solve all of it: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18475 the benefits of a massive reflector really gives a ton of spill, but also a very concentrated hot spot so you can really aim it down the road.
3: how will you mount it?
