I think I want to try a helmet light, especially for the front. Unfortunately, price is a MAJOR concern. The little bitty "spider" lights look pretty much worthless. Are there any suggestions for inexpensive helmet lights? How do they attach? Seems like something that straps under the slots in the helmet would be very annoying.
How inexpensive? I put a BLINDING $70 LED flashlight onto my 11 yr old's helmet for his commute to middle school. Runs on a single 1850 battery (battery and charger were another $30). I know a c-note is not anyone's idea of inexpensive, but it's a fraction of the cost of an ambulance ride never mind ER even before you get to imaging (x-rays, mri's...)
