I am getting ready to do a 30 hour adventure race and I need a light to use during the mountain riding section of the course, the trails are single track and unfamiliar. My main concerns are price and light intensity.
I guess my main question is "do light sources add, intensity wise?" The reason I ask is it would be cheaper to get 3 - 1000 candlepower lights($45 a piece) as opposed to 1 - 2500 candlepower light($200). But, will three lights be as bright as one higher powered light?
Also what is the comparison between watts - candlepower - lumens?
Halogen vs. LEDs?
1 - bright halogen(say 10W) vs 3 - LEDs, three separate lights(say 1000 candlepower)?
