I've got the half watt PB Blaze mounted on my helmet. For some reason PB only offered the helmet version of it in this wattage, not the 1W or 2W, even though they were available in handlebar mounts. It works for getting drivers attention, but for illuminating the road, it is at best supplemental, and that's at medium-ish speeds. Every now and then I'll find myself out with an inadequate front light and the helmet light and between the two I can just light up a patch of road ahead to keep an eye out for hazards, but it's hardly impressive or adequate.
I'll say it is still going strong after nearly three years of constant use.
