I don't know how many lights will run full beam for 4 hours though.
Do you need full brights for the full ride ?

No not really. I just tend to use them on full bright and was thinking of max length of time out needing lights but realistically its never more than 3 hours at the most.

Thank you for your help and info.

Expensive but you but them once and the last forever.

Any feedback on what model you decided on? Not sure "how much" light is enough?

I had the D6 at one stage.
VERY bright.  VERY big.

Bought the Race:  Nice compact and small and I could mount it on the Garmin mount.  Think its like 215g or something.
But we sometimes do night rides on the MTB and it was just just lacking a little.
So went for the Toro which, in my case, was perfect.  Adds a third beam and makes night riding easy.
Still very bright.

We have our Elite 1000lm light on sale for R349.00 - You will not be disappointed. 

Runtime at 1000lm is 2h45m to 3h (it will degrade over time).

Service is excellent and can have light repaired i something goes wrong.

No brainer
