Hi, greg...
I think you might be confusing "headlight" with helmet light. A headlight and a front light are the same thing and would go on your handlebars (usually), and a helmet light would go on a helmet. Many headlights/front lights can be used either on the handlebars or the helmet, though. In fact, I think that many people use a helmet light alone because it's so directional/responsive when it needs to be pointed elsewhere, as opposed to those mounted on the handlebars that are more or less stuck in place.
Sounds like in your case you might want to consider both (a headlight/front light for your handlebars and a helmet light). Just as an option, in any case.
