I got it at my LBS for $35 I think because it was the last one of its kind as the new ones came in, and because they like us I guess. Well worth it. 500 lumens, you will have all the lumens! You will win the lumen wars.

The other thing I love about it is the tiny side light because often we forget side visibility. An affordable way to help that is Scotch reflective tape and or TE reflective stickers on the bike and other gear.
I have a similar Light and Motion headlight and I like it very much.

And I agree about reflective tape, stickers -- they're a good inexpensive way to make you visible to drivers or other cyclists, anyone with a light shining on you. I also have reflective wrist and ankle bands for riding at night. I also have a reflective vest, though I don't wear it much anymore because I've bought some jerseys and jackets with lots of reflective accents.
