the cateye power opticube (used it)
the planet bike one (haven't used it, the optics aren't supposed to be as good as the cateye though)
the cycgolite 1watt LED system with a recharable NiMh (using it now, it's great)
longer battery life, no worry about blowing out bulbs, longer bulb life, less expensive, same amount of light, but better quality light
Do you have a 10 w halogen to compare side by side in the dark? Can you get your hands on one to try it? From what I have read in a magazine comparison test they really are NOT the same as a 10w halogen. Only if you shove the light meter right against the lens of the light is it as strong, but with a much narrower beam. I would love to hear from someone who has compared the two in person. A friend of mine is thinking about buying the same light you have.
