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?

These Bontrager light clips just tie through a vent hole.

It allows me to run flashing DRLs during the day and evening hours for cars, or bright lights at night for the darker multi use paths. Pretty good. Also, pedestrians will constantly ask you what camera you have on, and you'll constantly have to say "actually, it's just a light" hahah.

These look like a good option. That particular one isn't made anymore but I'm sure I can find something like it. Thanks!
