The Welch Allyn bulb is the industry standard for HID bike lights, including Cat Eye, Night Sun and Night Rider. I've been using one for at least three years now.

Bikes: 1 road bike (simple, light), 1 TT bike (could be more aero, could be lighter), 1 all-weather commuter and winter bike, 1 Monark 828E ergometer indoor bike

The Aufa one looks best to me. Or the Lumicycle.
Not the brightest, but the most evenly spread.
