On a side note, one of my Google searches led me to CPF- which was down at the time. I just left the tab open and just hit refresh, and the site is back up. The thread didn't feature the conduit hangers, but someone did post about using hose clamps. I bought some hose clamps way back when, but my mechanical ineptness can't figure out how exactly to use them to mount to a flat bar.

I want to mount this light to my bike now, then I'll be sending Shiningbeam some business ASAP.
You can use two hose clamp by mounting the first one on your handlebar. Before tightening the handle bar hose clamp tight, unscrew the second hose clamp all the way and slip one end into that hose clamp into the first hose clamp on the handlebar . Center the top hose clamp such that the tightening mechanism is on top and then tighten the hose clamp on the handlebar. By now you should have something that looks like a chain link. Put your flashlight in the upper hose clamp and tighten that one up.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that some clip type conduit mount are not coated well and my not take long term exposure to outdoor elements.
