The fun way to do it would be with EL wire. If you're handy with a wirestripper and soldering gun, you could outline a whole helmet with EL wire or EL tape. It would be lightweight, takes little juice to power it, and would be very bright.
Another option is flat-mount LEDs. Again, handy with a soldering iron is a big requirement.
