Exposure Eyes
Yes, it's true, I was planning on having this up last week. But... well, it didn't happen. That's the bad news. The good news is that I am posting it right now! With beam shots! On with the post...
Lets say that you picked up an Exposure Joystick MaXx 2. You wanted a helmet light that was lightweight and didn't have a separate battery. Now, about a year later, you're finding that it just isn't quite bright enough. Or, you need a new tail light... what do you do?
Exposure has just the thing for you. These are add on lights that are powered via the charging port on the Joystick, and clip onto the body of the light.
First up, the WhiteEye (silver light above). This little light doubles the output of the Joystick MaXx, upping from 240 lumens to 480 lumens (all lumen ratings are claimed).
Without the WhiteEye:
With the WhiteEye:
Or, if you only need a small light, the RedEye Micro:
This tiny light weighs hardly anything at all!
The other plus? These accessories are inexpensive. The WhiteEye and RedEye are $45 each, and the RedEye Micro will only set you back $15.
These accessories are just the thing to extend the usefulness of the Joystick.

Question about that Exposure helmet mount...is it not possible to mount it in lateral center (L --> R) of the helmet if you have a middle bar running from front to back on your helmet?
I think it would drive me nuts to have my helmet-mounted light off-center left-right.
One helmet I use has a middle bar like you are talking about. I just mount the light off center, then "lean" it back towards the middle of the helmet.
The mount is on a gimbal, so it is free to move in any direction: up, down, left, right, rotate, etc.
It's not perfect, leaning it toward the middle won't place the light fully in the center of the helmet, but it's not bad, either. Once riding, the light is light enough that it doesn't effect helmet fit at all.
If using the WhiteEye, I'd place it on the light so that it is more centered.
