You can buy a Fenix LD20 for about $60 and it puts out 180 lumens on high using AA rechargeable batteries. I used my Fenix for 2 years as my only headlight until I got a Magicshine last fall. I switched the Fenix to my helmet when I got the MS, and still use it as my sole light during the summer. I actually run my Fenix on the second highest setting most of the time, which is about 100 lumens.
