It's getting mighty dark here when I trundle out to the aluminium horse of an evening. Whilst I've got my blinking blue LED light on front and back for safety I was thinking about strapping a torch/flashlight on my safety hat as well. I see several benefits. I would make myself more visible to motorists to my side as I looked their way to check distance. It would also let me check my gear settings. I know you pros don't look at 'em but I still do

Any advantages or disadvantages?
