Night Riding Lights

I just came across the Niterider Mako 2.  Anyone know how that stacks up against some of the popular choices like Fenix and EOS?

Since light-weight is my primary goal, I decided to use the Fenix LD10. It runs with a single AA battery and has 3 brightness levels. Depending on what I do and where I go I ride with lowest and medium level. I never use the ultra-bright level. The lowest level is enough to find your way on a forest road when you're not racing too fast. The medium level is very bright and I use it on my way home from work when I go through a dark forest at night. At low level a Sanyo Eneloop rechargable NiMH-battery lasts approximately 10-12 hours. At medium level it lasts about 4-5 hours.

On my bikepacking trips I hardly ride at night and I carry the flashlight only for emergencies or when I have to cross tunnels. A single battery is enough for a 1-week trip. Thus this flashlight is ideal for me, since it is the lightest and brightest flashlight I could find and it serves my needs. It also is water-proof and very robust.

+1 for the Black Diamond Storm.  Worked fine for the CTR.  One set of batteries lasted the whole trip and then some.  It light, waterproof, bright, and works great for camping too as opposed to a handlebar light or helmet light.

Looking at getting my own led lights now for riding at night during endurance races.  I have looked at a couple companies but can't really come to a conclusion on what is a better value.  Looking at getting a light at least 750 lumens.  I was looking at niterider and cygolite.  They both have what I am looking for, but can anyone tell me from experience if there are any major function issues with one or both of these companies?  Or suggest another company if there is something better.  They need to be very durable, waterproof and have the best battery life possible, planning on doing the TD this summer, so it needs to suit that as well.  

Thanks
