Triple cree kit
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Thinking of ordering the triple cree light kit from cutter and wondering if anyone can offer advice on the best optics, ie narrow or medium, which is the better driver, what is the optimum battery size and whether it works best as a helmet or bar mount.
Any advice would be apreciated

Well you have my email Gary but here's some info for the rest of you out there.
I run 2 x 7.2V 3300mah Nimh batteries in series. This gives me over 3hrs of burn time at full power (1000ma) running through 3 cree LEDs.
As for the lens. I have a 10 degree lens from memory and it works fine mounted on my helmet.
I have all 3 LEDs on one board and I got the corresponding triple lens to minimise soldering.
Edit: Lithium batteries are much lighter but do cost a lot more. All depends on your budget
