Front strobe light to mount on steerer tube

[danphoto]

At least I think it's called the steerer tube - the tube that my handlebar stem clamps onto

Anyhow, it's 36-37mm diameter and I'd like to mount a (cheap-ish) white strobe of some kind to it as a backup/attention-getter. Any ideas what might do the job or be adapted to do it?

Wondering about a Cateye HL-LD150. Would the "bracket" go round 36mm?

Thanks numbnuts, but I want to keep this as simple as possible

STAND AWAY from the SwingGrip, unless you want to watch your lights bouncing down the road!

The SpaceGrip is excellent, but the SwingGrip has a small tab securing the bar in place that easily breaks under the weight of the most basic lightst. I have 5 and 6 year old Space GRips, but no SwingGrip lasted more than a week before the tab failed

A small 'backup' type light?
Tescos do a pair for £4 and the elastic mount will go round pretty much anything.

I have read loads of reports like this, but I must be very lucky for I’ve had one on my bike for over 3 years now and it is still OK

I still have one, but I removed the bar from the TAb and mounted it on the top of the Grip

Is a quid really a pound -

In "real terms" perhaps the Poundshop should be the 98.7p shop?

Is there a smiley for scratching head?
