It’s seems to me that mounting lights on the helmet would make it easier to recharge the battery since I won’t need to unmount anything, just bring the helmet with the mounted lights to the charger and recharge. However, having lights on the handle bars seems like a more solid setup.
Anybody have any suggestions/thoughts?
Thanks!
Both. But if you have to choose, do the helmet. You aim it where you want to go, not where the bike is going. Being able to see into the corner is a huge benefit. Being able to flash the light into the eyes of a bonehead who is pulling out in front of you at a stop sign is just gravy
