So my buddy doesnt want to fork out for a joystick. What are the best cheap alternatives for a helmet light?

hes got one of those ebay chinese XMLT6 lights for the bars if that makes any difference?

How cheap? I’ve got a Lezyne Powerdrive which is almost as bright as the Joystick and cost about £70. It fits in the Joystick helmet mount too, though I think Lezyne are about to bring out their own mount.

Do a search on here and lots will come up

I have these http://www.dealextreme.com/p/fandyfire-a10b-cree-xm-lt6-3-mode-900-lumen-white-led-flashlight-w-strap-1-x-17670-1-x-18650-90607

I don’t use it on the bike, but it’s damn bright and well made. In theory you can put new modules in as they are updated.
