C size li-on cells has HUGE capacity. the output king still remains HID lights... got two HID bike lights...Niterider HID Storm gets 3+ hours runtime. Arc HID gets 6+ hours runtimes (8x 18650 li-ion battery pack) main drawback to HID bike lights is costs... kinda pricey ... new gen LED li-ion lights with good runtimes and output can be put together for low $$$. then use a two fish block to mount. cheapest setup with be a chinese single cell 18650 with XLM cree LED. $25 + 2x 18650 ($25) + a pila li-ion charger ($50) = $100 Dealextreme is a dirt cheap/reliable Chinese oversea online store (been ordering from them for 5+ years)... all their merchandise includes shipping. some are junk, some are fairly high quality. you do need feedback from folks at candlepower forums before ordering.
