DaveBI have been using a Fenix L2D-CE with this handlebar/helmet mount (https://www.fenix-store.com/product_info.php?cPath=25_66&products_id=273) for around a year now and would highly recommend this combination. $US63 (including free delivery to AUS) from Fenix-store.com

There is a full review of this light here (http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/fenix_l1dce-l2dce.htm).

Hi

I found that using NiMH AA cells in C cell holders that any reasonable (I used
a cats eye) light works well. I got 5 days of commuting (only needed light at
night on way home) out of 800 mA/hour batteries, so I'd suggest that the
modern AA's being 2400 will do fine!

Then its choose your system, but I prefer to be able to easilly remove it as I
worked at a place where people would fleece anything left un bolted down.

:-)
