So, a handlebar mounted magicshine clone + flashlight on the helmet. The helmet light is a bit too heavy, so I'm open to a different solution.
^This. I've had mine for over a year and it works great. I did end up buying the 6-cell battery and get 3 days of strobe on it (~240 minutes). I also bought the spreading lens.
