So JK was right I should have put the brighter one on my head.
Single Speed night ride last night. I need to get an 18 tooth cog! Either the chain or my knees are going to blow soon if I don't.
I tried it out with two lights last night. Bar mount and Helmet mount. I put the small light on the helmet and the big light on the bar. JK was telling me at Kelso that he runs the other way around. I think I know why now. I was casting very bizarre shadows and was having a tough time finding the trail at times.
Next time I go out I'll flip them around and see how it goes.
I'm still quite impressed with the small light I have. It's a Sigma Karma Pro. Complete with the Lion battery pack. These batteries are very small, but powerful. If you had wide open trails you could easily MTB with just the Karma on the helmet mount. On more technical trails it's just not quite bright enough. So I think I will bar mount it next time and run the PowerLED on the helmet. It's enough on it's own for a helmet mount. It will be nice to have the extra light coming from the bar though.
