Plenty of cyclists run helmet mounted lights. I can adjust the brightness so as not to blind people and still be visible. I ride on the trails in the dark so a powerful helmet light is necessary for me. When I ride in urban area in traffic I just use lower setting.
My racks also have reflecrive tape.
