Lamps for Road Bike - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

I purchased, or rather was persuaded at the end of a long day to purchase, a
Cateye Compact Safety Red lamp for the rear of my bike.

I am, however, quite keen to do night-time riding. Is this lamp good
enough? If not, what lamps do people's experience suggest are the best?

Likewise, I need something for the front that can be seen *and* will shed
worthwhile light on the road.

I am riding a light road bike and am keen not to add too much weight or
screw heavy brackets onto the bars/frame, if a suitable compromise can be
found.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
