Here is a light a colleague and I designed. He did most of the nitty gritty, I came in to solve some of the more difficult problems.

We used to go driving in nature reserves at night with one of these to spot animals. It was a real hoot driving on the freeway, then shooting the beam at the large traffic signs, lighting it up like a searchlight. It uses 2 12V SLVA batteries in a backpack. It would be possible to mount this on a bike, the tube-like light part on the handle bars, it is not that heavy, and the driver electronics closer to the battery pack.
This stuff was done 12 years ago, when I was still in South Africa.
