Best simple / cheap DIY-ish helmet mount for flashlights

[CaveSloth]

I am currently using a velcro cable tie but the light is loosey goosey. I could use two and get it a bit more secure, but I am open to something more solid. I want it to work with lights in a range of diameters from say a half inch to 2 inches. I am imagining something plastic maybe with a velcro strap integrated, some padding on the inside to prevent slippage and with mounting holes in the base for bolts or something. Also ideal if it is not a permanent mount but something I can replace the light in, remove replace the light easily for battery changes, aim the lights etc...

Nice! I like the 2 loops of bungee per light, rubber pad under the light, rear bungee for clipping the bolt snaps. Thank you!!!
