Night riding light question

I was looking a getting a magic shine mj-880u light, will one light be sufficient or will I need to get another light to go on my helmet to be able to safely navigate the trails at night?  Magic shine has a deal for the two lights and helmet mount but I am not sure if I need both lights.

One Magic Shine on your helmet will be fine (get a 2nd battery if you are riding for multiple hours at a time).  If you insist on having one on your bars, you'll also need a helmet light.  Nothing worse that looking around a corner where you want to go and your bars still pointed in the direction your are going...

2 lights will always be better in case 1 fails.  I would also recommend the hemet over the bar mount.
