Fork mounted, battery operated light

Is there a good battery operated headlight that has a mount for a fork crown? Or alternatively, is there a good mount for handlebar mounted headlights to attach it to the fork crown?

Peter White sells a fork crown mount for the B&M IXON IQ which is an excellent batter powered light that runs on 4 AAs.

I use two CatEye OptiCube HL-EL010 Uno's mounted to the fork itself. It runs off of one AA battery, and it has a steady and a blink mode. I also use two of them mounted to my handlebars. I run all four in blink mode.
