I'm not sure why the prices of these stinkin' things are so high. I've about decided the best way to get a lighting kit is to engineer one yourself. I'm sure you have a handful of gel cells lying about, and I have had great success out of sealed beam PAR38 lamps, especially with a 30 degree beam. The flat, wide beam that is so common lends itself well to the purpose at hand. It was designed for this (cars actually). The next step up would be a fistful of CREE LED's. Give Google a workout looking for homebrews. If nothing else, a MAG Lite on the handlebars also works well.
