Lightest, Smallest, Sleekest Helmet Light?

I am looking for the lightest, least obtrusive, lowest-aero-drag light to mount on a helmet.

It need not be a street sweeping torch, but I'm looking for something more than a coin cell blinky. It should have enough of a beam that I can point it at drivers about to pull out in front of me etc. It should also have at least a 3-4 hour runtime.

The Knog Blinder Road looks like a possibility. Any others you like? And what is the best, sleekest way to mount them on a helmet?

One thing I would consider is mounting just the light head (LED, enclosure and lens) on the helmet, if that will give me a very low-profile installation, and running a wire to the battery pack in a pocket. Anyone have a source of heads?
