I have been using a Fenix L2D-CE with this handlebar/helmet mount for around a year now and would highly recommend this combination. $US63 (including free delivery to AUS) from Fenix-store.comDaveB said:

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.
