I use the 3-watt Mini-Mag flashlight as well. Wal-mart has the 2 AA version on clearance sale for $19 if your local WM is not sold out already. Rumors on the flashlight forums say a 5-watt Mini-Mag flashlight is in the works so there trying to sell off the remaining 3-watt flashlights before the 5-watt flashlights will be shipped. Anyway, mounting a flashlight like the Mag-Lite Mini-mag is so easy. Just use an EMT conduit hanger with small peaces of inner tube rubber glued inside to prevent scratching the flashlight and providing a very good grip so it never gets loose and "escapes" to be dashed on the pavement. Here is a photo showing how a Mag-Lite flashlight was mounted on a bike.
