This is the same light as the links posted above by 10 Wheels, but it ships from DX's US location, so it'll get to you much sooner.
This light has a 3 mode H-L-strobe operation. I'm not sure how fast the strobe is, it might be 5Hz (too fast IMO). Also the reflector is smooth finish, not OP (orange peel), which tends to produce a poorer beam pattern for bicycling purpose. The battery pack is probably not the best. It might last a week, it might last 6 months. BTW, DX will add 3% to cost if you use PayPal.

This one will most likely work better, for longer. The seller is a good guy. I bought from him a couple times now. It costs twice as much as the DX model linked above:

He also sells the Gemini Titan, which has a P7 emitter with a little more battery (5200 vs 4400mah). It's a better deal, even with the slightly lower output emitter.
