I've been using lights made by the Mighty Bright company.You can 
check them out here  http://www.bill-lewington.com/mighty.htm
They are cheap and work well.
I have the extra flex model which can run for about 30 hours on 
rechargable batteries and it can take a bit of a battering.
It also has the added bonus of not needing modified and it won't 
affect your gear.
When I was using an EMU Command station the included light used to 
make the Command Station malfunction.EMU tech support told us the 
solution was not to use it.After that,I don't think modifying 
eqipment to take a light is such a good idea.
