Hey, this looks great!

Sigma Mirage lamps

There are two lamps, 5W and 10W, do they shine enough light for pitch darkness trail riding at speed? Would be great, some of the hiker trails seem really cool but we never descend there for obvious reasons, would like to try them in the evening though when there's no people! And being in the woods in pitch black, BOOOOOOO!!! [8D] Must be freaking great!

Also, there are lots of good looking trails on the Croatian seaside and islands, the combinations seem endless, but it gets real hot there in summer and the vegetation is low so you don't get any shade... So I'd really like to ride at night, would have a lot more energy. You should see how great it looks like on a clear-skied night with a full moon... you see everything, blue rocks and black bushes, and more stars than you ever saw in your life! [:)]

This seems perfect, not too costly either, it just has to be powerful enough to make the trail visible so you can do descents at moderate and high speed.

To clip or not to clip, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind of men to suffer the dings and contusions of unclipp'd riding, or to bind thy feet against a sea of gnarly singletrack and by these contraptions, ride o'er them with ease. To clip... to slip no more, and by clipping to end the buttache and the thousand natural shocks that ryders are heir to; tis a consummation devoutly to be honed. No clip - to slip perchance to be thrashed most heinously...

I ride with something like that. Though i only have a 10w and that is enough for me to ride in the dark. I would have though that would be fine. Though teh battery might be heavy and not last that long.

I also have a LED lamp which lasts a long time, that would be adequate to light the trail during slow climbing for example, so you see where you go. Would engage the big lights when I go faster... It says 3 hours, would use them sparingly, use LED whenever I can to conserve the big ones.
