If you're going to ride outside the city in the dark then you can do a lot better than a Hope vision1.
The most common light (out here in the sticks) are the Magicshine clones from ebay/dealextreme? They're around £50 and a lot brighter than a Hope. Spare parts are easy to get and they tried and tested. There are various versions but even the mountainbikers aren't spending £200 on lights these days, there's no need.
I've just backed the Magniclight. They are powered by 12v germanic geekiness, magic and (you guessed it) magnets.
I have some Reelights and they are almost there and quite good for the pub bike.
