It's a bit over your budget, but I got a Cateye Nanoshot Plus a while back and I'm really pleased with it, plenty bright enough for completely unlit roads: http://www.hargrovescycles.co.uk/cateye ... light.html
Lots of reviews on Road CC: http://road.cc/show/review-section/lights---front/10697 and a beam comparison doo-dad: http://road.cc/lights2012/index-wide.php

Seven or eight hundred quid.Fil_b":3geo8904 said:
you might be able to find a magic shine (external battery pack) for that on eBay.Ful_b":3geo8904 said:
Falling that, at 50 quid, there isn't much to distinguish between mist of the main manufacturers offerings. Just trawl wiggle and crc looking for the biggest discount!

This design is pretty good, shop around though as some can have annoying flashing modes. Secure the battery packs well!

Wrap battery pack in cling film too . Angle down onto the road as well , very bright for oncoming traffic , especially if it's on flashing mode

I picked up a nice compact lezyne power drive xl for less than £50. Bought a couple of aftermarket batteries. Plenty bright enough and lasts about an hour plus on each battery on constant high. Nice quality too.

I have to admit that I found the prices of many lights totally absurd and started a thread on budget lights some years ago. There were lots of handbags thrown about but the general consensus was that these budget jobbies are ok for commuting but not the rough stuff.
A few years on and some of these issues have been addressed, especially by the model I posted above. But, battery packs...
...they still fall off in Wendover Woods.
