- Can i import keys into the light wallet - only options i get are Restore Backup and New Wallet.
Yes
- if restoring balance to openledger web wallet, do i initially create a separate account(different to any of my 1.0 account names) or use the "existing account" then enter a password for my new wallet; then proceed with importing the keys?
You can do either. You can create a new account and import balances from old accounts to the new one or just import all old accounts to any account you own or to the current accounts. You can actually select which accounts you want to (or dont want to) merge (or not).
- if i import my keys and do not claim all my balances will they be available next time i load the wallet from cache or from backup
Yes. I left balances unclaimed after closing wallet and you can go back and claim at any time. You claim your vested balance (daily if you like) in the same way.
- is the Backup Wallet feature sufficient to protect my wallet from that point on or should i backup the brain key as well?
I did both.

Thanks Tuck your the Theman!,
I updated my light wallet to the latest version and am using that. my issue was then using 'existing account' i would enter the password and the title would change from 'enter password' or something similar to set-up account and i would be stuck there, with the updated version this issue seems to have gone away.
just in case anyone else has an issue with the wallet not loading when you start the light client and presenting a 'Application initialization issues' page; i thought i would post my work around.
when i start the light wallet it goes to a 'Application initialization issues' page suggesting the Websocket is not connected 1-2 second later the status updates to connected but my wallet does not load. I then proceed to the settings page, click wallet, click restore backup, choose my wallet backup file and supply my password, click verify then click restore, then click done, my wallet still does not load until i click View(dropdown menu) then reload.
after the page reset i have access to my wallet and unclaimed funds.
not sure if this is something wrong with my setup as i havent had a chance to test it out on any other machines.
the new interface is very slick and i can't wait to test out delegated permissions when i have another pc to play with
