I use the twofish bikeblock.. This is the holder that runs in parallel fashion and works great as a helmet mount..

Thanks, socalrider...my next step is definitely to get something for my helmet. Once I get that, I think I'm going to feel pretty comfortable about my basic night riding setup. The P2D is a candidate, but I would probably still like to be able to stick to using AA rechargeables. However, that's not set in stone, so I might go the route you did. Sounds like a lot of bang for the buck (a lot of light in a small package).
I was hoping that the extra lockblock I got (I ordered a set of three) would work for the helmet but I see now that it won't -- and that I'll want something exactly like you point out with the bikeblock.
And thanks, socalrider, for the bits and pieces you've been adding for me to think about. You and Zero_Enigma have really helped me out in sorting out my thinking about a small system that will work for me.
Oh, and by the way....those Duracell 2650's kick ass...
