You can't go wrong with the PlanetBike Super Flash. That thing is CRAZY bright, but it also has a "regular" setting for if you're in a paceline or whatever and don't want to blind the rider behind you. Most LBS have them.

How about a seat stay mounted light? I have a really bright one, it has different modes of course, on my LHT. It cost $19 and am happy with it. Sadly though it is at home and I can't remember what it is...will try and remember to post the name tonight when I finally get home.
I second the Planetbike Superflash. Really bright, relatively cheap, pretty sturdy.

+1 for the Superflash, but keep an eye on it in the wet.
+++++Superflash, hands down

Another vote for the PB Superflash...I've had one clipped onto my seatbag for 2 years and it's still going strong...and I've ridden in some torrential downpours.

yeah - I don't ride in the rain on purpose if I can help it, but I did a couple of organized rides last year when it rained pretty much all day - drowned my cadence sensor the first time, took the sensor off pre-emptively the second time - and no water got into my blinky. Water leakage is probably related to the lens's proneness to popping off, and I expect the zip tie helps with that, too.
