Good point I forgot to mention. The only drawback to a helmet mounted light is with fog, mist, rain, and snow if anyone does that sort of thing, a helmet mounted light will cause severe visual issues if used in those cases. When I use to use the Cygolite Metro on the bars before I got the Philips Saferide I had to re-aim the light downward a bit in those conditions because the round beam, which is typical of most lights, was aimed too high for distance but in those weather conditions it would cause visual problems, once aimed down a bit it was then ok. The Philips though I don't have to re-aim because the beam is flat, I love that light, not sure why Philips stopped making it, but there has been a few since that have come out with aimed optics.
