The guys in the office had been messing around with their bike lights since the nights started drawing in at the start of winter. Pete came up with a nice method of fitting two Gammas to his handlebars zip tying the battery packs to the handlebar stem. It was neat and gave good long to mid range visibilty on some of the trails we ride on the way home. At the same time Jim was trying to fit a BULB to both his helmet and handlebars to give a closer flooded light, just what was needed to spot ruts in the path and kamakase ducks.

I sacrificed my old Cateye lamp which was proving to be inadequate but kept the mount and lower casing to act as a craddle for a BULB. The result is secure and adjustable. I had to stick some blue tape over the top of the bulb since the glare was effecting my night vision!
