What's nice about the B&M (and a few others) is that their reflectors shine the beam down on the road and not in the eyes of opposing drivers/riders/walkers. Very nice.
You can get Busch und Müller lights in Vancouver at both Dream Cycles and Kissing Crows Cyclery.

But most bike stores only carry Knog and all the usual ones that are essentially just a super bright LED. There might be a huge array of them but they're pretty well the same light.
I like some of the bike lights that Philips make but they only distribute them to a few countries in Europe.

Here's a neat website from a guy in the Netherlands who tests bicycle components. Lotsa info and very OCD nerdy. (Which is what you want in a reviewer.)

What is the problem in North America is that while something might not be disallowed, most stores tend to only carry the stuff with the biggest turnover and not the stuff that sells less. I understand where they're coming from but it's kind of a drag that you can't get something because it's considered a minority interest thing.

Shee-yoot! You're right, that guy is really exhaustive in his tests! Thanks for the link.
