Lezyne do a small one, I think called the Femto that I had a fiddle with in Halfords last night. It looked pretty nifty. Not sure which batteries it takes though or whether it is usb rechargeable.

Edit - the Smart Lunar r2 is what I use as well as one of those cateye wide 5 led lights.

The 0.5 watt Phaart lights at On-One are very good for the money.

A rep at this weekends show says the Fento on flashing mode, it will give you a whole 7 hours of light.
Eff all really considering the hope district will be two weeks that you could see from the moon.

Just pay more on the hope and pay once.

I bought a pair of femto's. I think they're shite. They run off cr2032 batteries.

I use the cat eye rapid 3 on the under saddle mount that clamps onto the seat rails so it sits between the saddle and saddle bag.

I bought a second Smart R2 as it was cheap on eBay, very impressed with them and it was less than £13!

Two Cateye Rapid 1's (now down to £15). Plus a mudguard mounted reflector with LED light. Bright, multi flashing and USB rechargeable.

Cateye, unlike almost every other bike light brand, know how to make a mounting bracket too. I have the following:

Saddle rail mounted (for ISP bike)
Seatpost clamped
Pannier rack mount

All aftermarket and all allow multiple mounting options.

I know it's too late but; Cateye 600 mounted vertically on seat post - been great for years.
