The Light & Motion lights operate from a single button, which does indeed face down when the light is mounted underneath a Garmin. But the light itself is not up/down directional like many lights, and I find the light far easier to operate "upside down" than "right side up." Also really helps that the lights are plenty bright, inexpensive, and the GoPro adapter is $12.
Added bonus, the amber side markers are really nice.
