You missed the Nashbar sale last month. The L&M ARC HID was $263 shipped. I have one and it's amazing how bright it is, but I wouldn't try riding 30 mph at night on an unlit or poorly lit road with it, but that's more a matter of how good your night vision is. According to slvoid's lighting chart, you should be able to travel 35-39 mph and still be safe. YMMV
