Any recommendations for DX torchlights to mount on the helmet to supplement one of their P7 handlebar mount ones?

Cheers in advance!

I've got one of the simple, single-power ones. Small and light is the way to go.
Get yourself a rifle mount too, to strap it on with.

torch or bike light:
torches - two fish lock block (like [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-adjustable-bicycle-mount-for-flashlights-2cm-4cm-diameter-31871 ]this[/url] or [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-nylon-mount-for-flashlights-and-lasers-12000 ]this[/url] ) and a zipties for stability.
Bike light - depends on the helmet, have heard of ppl using simply using the bar mount band on a helmet strut(?) or one of these zip tied to your helmet

If you need the 18650 batteries and charger it'll cost a bit more ($42) so you could buy this [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ssc-p7-3-mode-900-lumen-led-headlamp-bike-light-set-4-18650-50947 ]P7 Light[/url] for $43.

Good either way ๐Ÿ™‚

I was not really wanting to spend any more than 20 max for an additional light for the lid!

Just ordered a Fenix HP11

More for fell running but I suspect that it will be better than the hope vision 1 which just weighs too much on the lid.
