Here is what I've done..

I'm using a 12v , 5Ah sealed lead acid battery and a Home Depot garden flood light ..

I hacked and grinded the steak so it fit into my steerer tube and then drilled a hole in the middle and ran a zip-tie to hold it down (and straight ahead !)

I used old computer power cables and an old computer power supply socket as the quick-disconnect with a 10watt inline fuse.

The light is 20 watts. and cost $ 9.99 at home depot.
The battery cost $ 12 at zbattery.com
The charger also costs about $12 at zbattery.com

This thing is so bright that it blinds you at almost any distance !!!!! I can't wait to use it !!!!
