I have to say that I've never gotten into night riding with lights.
Few times I've ridden with friends who have lights on the trails that I'm familiar with, knowing most of the spots to avoid to get myself in trouble.
The only lights that I put on my bikes for riding in the dark are to be seen, so I don't get hit by others.
Spent time, money and efforts to lighten up the bike just to put a extra 4-5 lb. of lights/battery to get 2-3 hours of ride in the dark seems inefficient.
I usually don't hit the trail until the weather have cooled down a bit, less insects, less snakes and more enjoyable since the lower overall speed to cool off while pedaling.
