After looking through the many posts on lights I have 2 question?

I'm looking to purchase the Fenix L2D Premium as my first light to get into night time riding.

1 Should this go on my helmet? If so how does it mount?

2 If it 's best on the bars again how does it mount ? If it does go on the bars what helmet lamp would be best?

Sorry to start a thead on this again but questions need answers

    mounting methods:

    twofish lockblock Two velcro straps and a rubber block - torch at 90 deg to bars

    Fenix bar mount - adjustable angle bar clamp - hand adjustable.

    Zefal Doodad Velcro strap and rubber block - torch parallel to bars

    Or a beefy rubber band used as per the dinotte O-rings (I use an elastic band off a tent)

    ("bars" coulf be handlebars or an appropriate bit of your helmet)
