Every handlebar bag is a little different, as are the type of handlebars that people have on their bikes. I have, however, never found a handlebar bag that mounts at such a level that allows you to also easily mount a light on your handlebars. If I were you, I would try mounting your light somewhere else on your bicycle, instead of trying to find a special handlebar bag. Try mounting the light to your head tube, for example. Hi Dan,

Always carry a bottle of sun screen and a small bottle of bug stuff planning not to use it but having it keeps away the bugs. Also have started carrying dish washing gloves to use on cold rainy days over pile gloves.

I don't do as much with electronics but I usually shove a very compact rain jacket in there. That way I don't have to get off the bike if it starts sprinkling a bit. Lastly a stupid freebie shower cap is tiny and it is great for keeping your bike seat dry when off the bike. This sounds foolish but on a long trip it is great not to have a cold wet crotch and the accompanying rashes that often appear as a result.
