Bicycle light recommendations.

I am in need of a bicycle flashlight recommendation. Possibly a holder to use a existing flashlight I already have. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I am not looking to spend a lot so inexpensive is good.

Not perfect - wobbles a bit, straps can be fragile - but allows you to use any 1 or 2 cell AA light. Point it downwards a bit so it lights up the road instead of blinding oncoming traffic and you're good to go.

That's not really making me want to buy it.

I've had two of them for at least four years and have broken one strap. Probably because I pull them tight enough to stop them wobbling. But really they don't move much and compared to buying a dedicated bike light they're very cheap and let you use your existing lights which will be more than good enough.

I still use them occasionally and would definitely replace them if I lost one.

I prefer a true bike light, as they commonly have a much wider path... that said, LED Lenser has some good looking brackets (not limited to LED Lenser products) that are certainly worth checking out:
