has anyone found a decent QR mount for the Airbike SL1, I'm getting really annoyed with the quality of the supplied mount.

its a very floody light, so its not ideal for a helmet light. I have the Airbike on my bars and a p7 on my helmet and its about perfect.

could the optic not be changed for a more spot version?

twofish lockblock would work OK for the lamp but the cable's an odd length, not quite long enough to stash it in a pocket or camelbak.
Using my SL2 as a bar-mounted backup to the helmet-mounted L&M Arc. Just about right for the commutes now.

I found mine to wobble a bit, cut out a piece of inner tube and stuck it inbetween the light and the bar mount with a hole in the middle so the screw goes through. Stopped the wobble. It holds the bike on the bars fine now. Ok, I can't release the bar mount with a flick of a lever or something, but I don't tend to need to do that a lot anyway.

Genuinely interested why some peeps are having difficulties with them?
