GurusInc, welcome.
And get ready for an incredible ride of obsession mixed with experimentation! :p Lights are awesome, like an extension of yourself!
As suggested, try the Small Sun and then try the SAIK SA-9.

Both are superb throwers and will prove extremely useful.
XM-L zoomies, in general (as already pointed out), are of little use. But in the interests of learning more about zoomies, you might read my review here on an MC-E zoomie, which does pack some punch and is quite bright (just not pocketable and with some artifacts in the beam)...
