With a bigger budget (I'm here right now and will be spending this money soon):
Magicshine MJ-868 (800 lumens) $125
Magicshine MJ-880 (1800 lumens) $200 or (more likely) the new Gemini Duo (1600 lumens) $250
I'd recommend checking with
http://bikeempowerment.com/Magicshine.html before you pull the trigger here. I got a replacement light head from him that's got a great clamp for mounting on the handlebars. It's way better than the one I got from magicshine.
