Do you have a helmet light? If so, how is it mounted? (feddit.online)

It's starting to get dark when I'm heading home, and I'm thinking that I'd like to be more visible. I have a headlight and tail light on my bike, but I'd like one that's a little higher up as well.

I'm finding a lot of headlamps that work with a GoPro mount, but my helmet does not have one of those. It also doesn't have an easy spot to stick an adhesive GoPro mount to, but I found this video where a guy uses a silicone adhesive to stick one on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLpKEc-_AQs. I'm wondering if I should try that, or just buy a new helmet with a built-in GoPro mount.

Does anyone here have a helmet headlight that you like? And, how is it attached?

Urgh, I hate people with helmet lights or any blinding lights in general. Today it's not only huge cars blinding everyone in their way but also bikes with way too bright LED headlights that are badly adjusted. And to be clear I almost exclusively travel by bike. I find it way more important to watch and be aware of my sourroundings.
