The Thor 3.5 MCP will last 33 minutes if you replace the 100w bulb with a 55w bulb. It's a lot lighter than the Thor 10 MCP, but still fairly big.
I have a powercraft spotlight that might fill the bill. I got it cheap from a liquidator on ebay, but here is a picture of it:

It's a lot smaller and a lot lighter than the Thor 3.5. It uses just one 6v 4ah SLA battery. To give an idea of weight and size, the Thor 3.5 uses two of these batteries. The Thor 10 uses the equivalent of 3 and 3/4 of these batteries.
This light will be considerably dimmer than the Thor, but it might be okay. I like mine. When I got mine from the liquidator, the battery had been sitting around discharged and lost most of it's capacity. Coincidentally, I was getting 10 minutes of runtime. A new battery got me 45 minutes. Actually I can't give you the exact runtime because I replaced the H3 style bulb that came in it with an Osram 20w bi-pin while I was waiting for my new battery to arrive in the big brown truck. I had to make my own bi-pin socket to do this.
If you are interested, I could put the original bulb back and compare brightness and runtime. I think it would get at least 50 minutes runtime though, because it was drawing less current than the bulb I replaced it with.
All the spotlights I know of use sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries because they are cheap. They are also easy to charge and they are so damned heavy they won't blow away in a cat5 hurricane.
The high-class super bright flashlights use a much lighter power source. I believe the Streamlight Stinger uses NiCad and the Tigerlight uses NiMH. I don't own either, but a lot of folks around here do.
I surmise either will cost you over $100, and both have a runtime of an hour, and both are very bright and might suit your purposes.
