A secure mount for a FF or PP helmet is a hell of a challenge!
I suggest a suction device like this:

I did manage to mount my light on a pisspot helmet - using velcro straps thru the vents.

No worries. Once I have the completed O'ring solution, I may be talked into selling you one, if you can integrate it into your light design.
Watch this space.

Fantastic, we all await your world conquering solution.
Oh, and the look on Duncan Bannatyne's face when he sees you in all that get-up.
I'm in

Well I just made up a mount using cable ties and a o ring that holds the light secure, will breakaway easily if hit and can be left on all the time.
Ta luminous. Dunno why I didn't think of that before DOH!

A secure mount for a FF or PP helmet is a hell of a challenge!full face helmet mount is easy. just buy a replacement visor and drill a small hole in it to mount the light from.

lots of goggle strap mounts available for sports camcorders.... good place to start maybe?

And here is the completed light.
Initial measurements have indicated that output is approximately 1400 Lumens at Maximum, and well over 500 Lux at 5m.

Looks great - bit like a mini 601 which is a very good thing!
Out for a night ride with my 601 tonight with a mate who has also just got one - should be fun!

Cheers for the comments guys.
The blue is so nice, I just had to post the colour.
Surf-Mat, say hi for me, I'm guessing its their first ride with the 601.
One of you let me know how you get on.
What really pleases me with this light is that, on the numbers, it beats a Wilma 5, yet is significantly cheaper.

You're right, I need to update the website, that will probably happen during this coming weekend.
For now:
Light unit itself, weighs 116g, including the clamp.
With 5.2Amp Hour battery in its bag, combined weight is 400g
(this is the 401 lite)Runtimes for a 401 lite.
Set to Maximum, which is 1400 lumens, or >500 Lux at 5 metres
expect 2 hrs 15 mins.Set to Normal, 1000 lumens, or 380 Lux at 5 metres
expect 3 hrs 30 mins.Set to low, 400 lumens, or 160 Lux at 5 metres
Longer....sorry, I can't remember the time, off the top of my head.Runtimes are a bit conservative, and were taken using a battery which had been cycled several times before testing.
Cheers.

Oops.
Need to correct the figures above.
Lux should be:
Max: 350 @ 5m
Nor: 250 @ 5m
Low: 100 @ 5mCheers
