I know you've asked for suggestions that can be mountable but I would suggest a workman's light, I use a cheap version, a little over £20, called Runacc rotatable folding work light.
Many may find this too bulky or overkill on the light front, but if I'm catching a decent carp in the middle of a dark night I don't want to rely on half hearted lighting and I've now found anything better than this option for the price.
One bit of advice I received on here is when using one to get rid of the shadow behind always face the light downwards if possible. Mine sits nicely on the top of my bivvy whilst I can get on with the self takes and fish care.

Bit more expensive maybe but for me definitely the best option, the ridge monkey light and bankstick adapter

Those lights are the bizzo, I mount mine on the top of my camera thus don't use the camera flash

Their must be a technique to these as I brought one (off Amazon though) put it on my camera and it nearly blinded me! Once turned on I can't see my flip screen on the camera. Gave it to the kids in the end to play with.

All the camera lights suggested will have a fitting to take a tripod screw, you just need an adapter to use them with a bank stick
Ebay Link
I've got the cheap Andoer light, very basic with just an on/off switch but works great for what I need

Similar to what has already been posted, but I have this one with the colour adjustment which is surprisingly handy
