Another way is to use two of those 'Livestrong' type rubber bracelets. You can get some in a color you like, maybe you donate to a good cause for them or maybe people are handing them out at work (happens a lot in certain jobs). You wrap one around the front of your light, over the handlebar, and back down over the back of the light. The wrap the second band around the middle twice, so around the bands BETWEEN the light and the handlebar and back over it again. The second band works as a sort of shock absorber to isolate the light from the metal handlebar.
I like some of the tiny CR123 lights for this, my favorite is the Romisen RC N3 (maybe $15?) with a rechargeable CR123 battery (2 for $6?) a nano charger (another $6?) to plug into the wall and voila, you have a reasonably priced 3.6 watt LED light for bike or your pocket. Light, batteries and charger available at dealextreme.com
