Helmet-mounted light

Ted Bennett said:

For my riding, I find that a helmet mount works very well except for
the extra weight up there, which I find bothersome. My current light
is from NightRider, but I want to replace it. My aim is to have a
better mount and less mass.

Anybody have suggestions?

Lights and Motion makes a great headlight.

Note, though, that mounting the light further back (i.e. closer to the
top of your head) eliminates the #1 annoyance of a helmet mounted lamp,
which is the tendency to pull it down over your eyes. If you balance
the light near the highest point, this tendency will be reduced. The
light isn't THAT heavy. So move the mount back to a further back pair
of holes in the helmet.

Thanks, Bill. I'm a reasonably bright guy, but somehow that simple
trick never occurred to me.
