lights? what is the best?

How can I find my way in the dark?  I've only fallen of the side of a mountain a couple of times, because of my cheap skate lights   You know how it is man.  Sometimes it's hard to find a flat spot to camp, or maybe 3,000 means meters not feet, takes longer when that happens. 
I thought this year I would get some good lights. What kind?
Last year I nearly fell from a cliff.  My back tire slid out from under me, scrape, new bruise on knee.  I picked the bike back up, mumbled something, picked up the thing I dropped, noticed I could still hear the sound of rocks falling,  cold, chilling sound from far below. 
What kind?  which one? how many? 2 hours of light is about useless.  Are several lights better than one big one?

I've been very happy with my Dinotte lights. I have 2 of the 200's. On this year's CTR I used just one of them on my helmet with the lighter battery and it was fine.

You can ride all night and not have to wory about the batteries going dead.

Check out the Blackburn Flea headlight: http://www.blackburndesign.com/lights.html
I take it along on any ride that I think might end after dark. Not super bright and pretty easy to over-ride but it keeps me on the trail and out of the bushes.
