uugh.... yeah, it's bright and all, but it's got a pencil-thin beam. even mounted to a bike, unless it's properly and carefully aimed, it's damn near useless.
mounted on a helmet?!?!? yeah, it throws out a lot of light... but you'll never know where it's going, only that it's not going where you want it.
i like that light and i have one mounted on my pannier rack... but it's just the wrong light to put on a helmet.
