Hi -
I like the BiSy lamps. They have a nice rectangular pattern that is
brighter at the top, which help a bit with the long range.
I have two mounted on the front of my commuter bike - see here:

One is used as a main beam, the other as a high beam by focusing it a
bit further down the road.
While I take credit for the construction, I shamelessly stole the design
from Tim McNamara.
Regards,
Tom
