I have been wanting to do this since I started building lights, and finally got to where I felt I had done enough research to possibly succeed.
What is that you say?
Why, it's an Anodizing line of course!
And it let's me do stuff like this...
Here it is next to some Naked Aluminium
This was just a quick trial run with some cheap RIT die so the color didn't stick, but I have since been able to get some good color renditions. Even if the color didn't stick on this one it got plenty of surface thickness and is hard as a rock so I think it was a great first attempt.
Colors here I come!

New Connectors
I like the weatherpack connectors, but they are a little bulky so thanks to a post over on MTBR I found some new ones that work a treat.
Helmet Mounting Options
There are two options for mounting on your noggin.
Step 1
Install included hook and loop type material to light and helmet.
Peel and Stick
Helmet mount is the same, but customize for what works for you.
My setup
Step 2
Now the tough part. Push and twist.
If that isn't secure enough for you (and man do I want to ride with you if it isn't) then add a little reinforcement.
I will work on the bar mount shortly.
