This ebay listing (not mine) is for a Sigma LED light specifically intended
to light up handlebar instruments: 390268273714.
A similar item from Pyramid was on offer from Icycles: 330498720514, but
it's now closed. Worth a look, however, and Icycles might have or get some
more of them.

less sprightly than the Roadeo. I'm not a weight we
I'm not sure what part of the country you are in but I would fender that Roadeo
or take a fendered bike in January.
My frequent strategy for riding brevets in non-home territory was to find some
local to shadow or follow especially when it got dark. If you wait til later
wen dark approaches,
I haven't done any night brevets yet, but I think you should have some kind
of light to see the map and instruments with.
