A couple have.

About two years ago the same subject cropped up over on [Proptopia](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/fans/websites/proptopia), and after some digging I found the following:

> [@](#):
>
> [VARIFLEX HALOGEN HEADLIGHT](http://www.usahardware.com/inet/shop/item/55110/icn/20-128652/variflex/b_043.htm) (1621), Model B-043, Stock Num: 20-128652
> 
> (usahardware\_com) from USA [Hardware.com](http://Hardware.com)
> 
> The halogen lights run $11.09 per pop and use two “C” batteries for operation…
> 
> They also have universal brackets… which mean they can probably be put on most bicycles. It’s probably a small job to convert them to hold onto the tanks.
> 
> I’m not sure if the glass can be easily removed so it might not be best to buy that other lamp should it turn out they’re incompatible.

Sadly the item no longer shows up in that link, but I found another listing [here](http://doitbest.com/Halogen+bulbs-Variflex+Bravo+Cycle+Force-model-B-043-doitbest-sku-804598.dib)

Hope that helps

Wow! Those halogen headlights are great!

Its a shame this topic didn’t pop up a week earlier. I bought 2 of these babies last weekend.

You can very easily remove the straps and then connect the light to the top of the green tanks at the base where the light would rest up against your forehead. They work great, they can tilt, and they are the perfect color (dark forest green and black).

They are quite pricey though… $25 each; however, they run on 3 AAA batteries that are included that last 35 hours. Plus they are sold everywhere. Also, they have several lighting options: 1) a “night vision” green LED, 2) Two super bright white LEDS, and 3) a standard yellow-ish flashlight bulb.
