| Hi,
I recommend the Brite Lite System with the extra powerful battery
and the clamp-on mounting system. It worked well for me in France
last year.

The Brite Lite is just a Union headlamp and tailight with a
rechargable Gel-Cell battery. They seem to make a few clamps
to hold the lamps (and the battry?) on your bike, but the separate
components can be had quite a bit more cheaply.
I'd also have reservations with simply clamping a lamp on a mountain
bike with quick release fittings because it was even difficult for
me to mount lamps for the randennour events on a road bike so they
wouldn't shake loose. I assume you want them rock solid.
Brite Lite ships a higher powered bulb than the standard Union - but
a 0.7 amp "krypton" 6 volt lantern lamp can be used instead (and is a lot
cheaper.)
Performance sells the Brite Lite and replacement parts now.

| I would look in the current Nashbar catalog at the Cyclops. I have
used this helmet mounted system for a couple of weeks now for my
morning training rides and find it far better than bike mounted lighting
systems. The reason is it lights where I am looking. The 4.5 watt
light is incredibly bright and I am hoping for longer bulb life
(a problem I had with bike mounted lights) because of my body acting
as a shock absorber. All of these should be beneficial for mountain
biking.
