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.
This light is super bright and seems to have a wide range of visibility. In any case, it is a third taillight for me, with 2 PBSFs mounted on the rear rack, so I'm not at all concerned with precise aiming. I'll do a comparison to the PBSFs and see how it looks.
