Not sure what your fascination with Maglight is all about. Maglight is so completely old school. Why mess with anything that uses old school C or D cells when there are just so many other good options. Why not mount a simple Li-ion powered LED torch like me and others have talked about using a simple handlebar holder. Works for me. Heck, if you really want something cheap and simple why not go on Amazon and buy something
like one of these. They're cheap, they work and the built in batteries should last a good number of years. No need to keep buying C or D cells, just recharge via USB whenever needed. BTW I own one of these and although I don't currently use it I did test it out and if I didn't own better Iights I would have no problem using something like one of these.
