Cateye Double Shot as headlamp?

I already have a Blackburn Quadrant as an LED headlamp with various
steady and flashing modes but it's not bright enough for dark roads or
offroad at night. I need another light and am tending towards a Cateye
Double Shot. Can anyone say if this combination is good enough to go
offroad safely. I'm happy to use it as a helmet light if that's the
best position. Wish I could afford the Pro model, but that'll have to
stay a Christmas wish.

I use a Double Shot on its own, on some really dark lanes. I've had it
a few weeks now, and am really pleased with how far up the lanes I can
see. Can't say about offroad though.

I've no idea how good the light is, but if you do buy Cateye, I'd try
geargurl on ebay. Shipped from the USA, the total seems to work out at
around 2/3rds the cost of the same item here in the UK. Good prices
and service IME. That's my only connection, btw, as satisfied customer.
