Alternative Lighting Options. Rather than paying a high price for a specialty bicycle light, an option would be to get a very high quality flashlight and mount it on your bicycle. The dollar cost per lumen is typically less and the quality is generally very high. A good source of specialty lights and comparisons can be found at IlluminationGear.com.
