However, this nifty little battery-powered light they have is exactly what i was talking about building.

Probably not all that bright though.
I have one of those lights mounted on my Redline R530. Not the brightest thing in the world. I suspect if if were mounted mid fork it would do a better job. I use it more as a be seen light than a seeing where I am going light. FWIW it has a plastic housing.
