well I found another company making a flashlight mount.

Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of these mounts for one because the maglite is so nicely made and the beam is highly adjustable. I've riden home with my AA maglite held in my mouth before when my nicad bike light went dead. Not quite enough light to feel comfortable but it got me home.

I also like the fact that the light can be easily removed. A nice feature when I have to leave my bike locked up somewhere.

One of my peeves about bike lighting systems is the battery packs. I gave away my old vistalite when the battery went south because it cost so much to replace the battery. The nice thing with the maglite is that I could use regular rechargable batteries and a nice charger. I could also extend my run time by bringing a couple extra charged cells with me on a ride.

Well, I'm just thinking out loud here. The only real drawback I see is the added weight on the handlebars. I'll have to see how much a 2 C-Cell maglite weighs. If I end up getting one of these mounts I'll let you all know what I think of it.
