is there such a thing as a lightweight headlight??

There are 4" headlights available. I would imagine they are lighter than the 7" ones

I have seen carbon fibre shells, but it was the glass lens that makes up the wieght, although a lot of modern tin tops have plastic lens though. Sorry it's not much help.

4" dominators weigh a bit over 500g each, which is pretty light, I do some projectors which do dip & main & weigh about 350g each, but by the time you've got a housing round them they're not going to be a lot lighter. TBH the big issue is not weight, but wind resistance & they make a significant difference there!
