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.
