The Blackburn Mars 4.0 is a reasonable rear light for about £15.

I have a Hope Vision 1 as a front light but that's going to blow a hole in your budget.

I think @ianrauk was selling some Hope Vision 1's a while ago, he might have some left.

Nope, all gone I'm afraid.

Unless you are on bad roads, anything above 300 lumens is enough to start with. There are really good CREE lights on ebay, just get a rubber bracket with it for fixing it on your steering wheel. Should cost you including batteries and charger around £15 and 3 to 4 weeks waiting time !
Rear light, I am not sure, I just bought a Blackburn Mars 4. Pretty bright, but not sure if the spread is enough.

I'm looking for a new (mainly front light) for this years commute and am very tempted by this package, my only reservation is mounting the rear light as I always have a rack bag on my commuter and this would get in the way. I guess some kind of mod would be possible to rack mount it!

Just buy one of the front light packages and go for a separate light for the rear that will fit.

Yes i could do (in fact i already have a decent rear light), however looking at the kit i like the idea of having everything running off the same rechargeable pack
