Funny you ask..I just picked up a copy of the Aust MTB Mag & they discuss this exact thing. Don't scrimp on cheap, heavy lights as you'll spend more time swearing & wondering why you bought them. Are you thinking about doing a 12hr or 24hr on a team?
I and many many many mtn bikers in Perth & Aust have fell under the spell of Ay-ups. They're a great light set for night riding & are very very light. I think most of the riders at our 12hr in Dec used themwww.ayup.com.au The battery is as light as a small kleenex box & easily mounted.
Night riding-an idea would be to ride the trail during the day to get a feel for it and possibly memorize it. Ok, that's what I doThen, depending on your skill level, go out towards dusk & do the trail as slowly as you feel comfortable. Think about where your lights are positioned.
Have fun
