Quick attach, adjustable, no cost helmet light mount!

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a "real" helmet light, so I went out and bought a comparatively cheap flashlight. The problems I then faced were; how to mount it? How can I get the light beam where I want it?  How can i make it easy to mount and remove?  This is my solution.

Step 1 Materials and tools:

MATERIALS:
1. Old reflector and mount
2. LED flashlight
3. Zip tie
4. piece of foam rubber (optional)

TOOLS:
1. A #2 phillips screwdriver
2. Drill
3. A file or sandpaper

I like the fact that this mount can adjust the pitch. Other mounts don't have that option.

Can you think of a way to make it easy to remove the light? That would be handy. Perhaps I can find a nut that is a wingnut or a knob.

Thanks!

Is this a illusion it looks like you have 2 flashlights on that mount? Cool idea, I like yours since its quick release if I fall I assume the plastic will break away

Not an illusion :) I added a second one and just overlapped the mount.
