105 Lumens Helmet Light at Walmart for $25
Well actually it's camping headband style light that can be zip tied or strapped to the helmet if you think outside the box. Runs on 3 AAA batteries and very compact.

I think it will nicely compliment your bike mounted light or ideal when you need to get home when your ride finishes at dusk. Does not look so durable but it comes with a 3 year warranty.

Ok, it seems like batteryjunction.com (where I bought mine last year) doesn't carry the Terralux one I use anymore. However, many places do, and here is one:

I actually prefer the FENIX light (lighter, smaller by a tad), but it costs 2x as much, so I can't recommend it over the terralux for bikes. (For running, FENIX + headstrap is the king.)

I have tried used O Rings from Oil Filters and they work great but have not tried used tubes. Won't the tubes rip if you stretch the cut holes?
The Terralux looks very impressive with 200 lumens using 2 AA batteries. Now only if I could get my wife to return the light I got from Walmart I could give it a try
