Want to mount my ultrafire torch to my bars, are these mounts any good?

Concerned how secure they will hold the torch over rough ground. If no good, any recommendations?
Unless you can guarantee that the torch will be held securely within that top mount, I'd not go for it, though the 'twist' ability is quite good.
I bought one of [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mount-Bicycle-Bike-Flashlight-LED-Torch-Holder-Clip-N-F8s-/371014090949?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item566229c0c5 ]these type[/url] for my emergency torch (P7) option
I've got this one: [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013-Cycling-Bike-Bicycle-Front-Light-Clip-Mount-Torch-Bracket-Flashlight-Holder/191082925708?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D286%26meid%3D5152713738732739078%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D161164280468%26 ]click[/url]
Works pretty well. Holds the torch nicely.
Use a TwoFish torch mount

works well.
I have a two fish lock block, but dependant on your torch size, you can't secure them to the bar well enough to stop them eventually wobbling/drooping
The ones z1ppy has linked to work fine.
I've used them with different torches and they stay put although I have got into the habit of checking the clamp bolts every now and then.
If you mount the torch facing the "other way" towards the cutaway section on the clamp it removes the tendency for the whole assembly to tip towards the ground as the whole mass is equally balanced over the handle bar. (I know that's not a great explanation, sorry.)
The torches I have are a snug fit in the clamp diameter so the end caps have to be screwed on when they are in the clamp, that's positive as there is no way they can slide out.
