Lights for all night charity road ride

Posts: 181
Hi all.
I'm doing a charity ride at the end of September which sets off around midnight and need a light to last throughout.
I was thinking either the Hope vision 1 ( carry spare rechargeable batteries ) or the Lezyne power drive ( and buying a second battery ).
Anyone got any reviews on either of these, or any other suggestions?
Many thanks.

is it going to be pitch black or do you need lights which allow you to be seen instead of seeing where you're going?
I'd go with a couple of ebay specials and run them on low mode one at a time. Should last you through until the daylight hours. Perhaps even a spare battery.

Xposure Strada if you can afford the extra cash but should last all night on medium burn.
Otherwise Ebay special with a spare battery pack.0 -
Dynamo hubed wheel with an LED front light. Std battery rear. Simple to fit, and no worries about running out of battery. After the event use on your commuter.
Something like this: http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s209p3040
I have that light and it is great for unlit roads. I have a different (but similar) hub and there is no perceptible drag. Probably lighter than a battery setup too.0 -
I use one of these on mycommuter, very bright and cheap as chips http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=251288567677&category=22689&pm=1&ds=0&t=14401657994900
