If you want something on the bike, the flashlights with mounts work best. Again anything Chinese is just fine. 18650 battery is the nicest size imo. Rechargeable is a must.

+1 for the ebay Cree lights. I've been very impressed with mine after years of using halogens (Lumicycles). I also got a beam diffuser to flatten and broaden the beam
