mounting a light to a MIPS helmet
 
With recent DST time change, I want to put a light on my helmet for trails after sunset, but there is no gap between the vents in my helmet shell and the MIPS layer under it (it is a Smith). I like the helmet and it wasn't cheap, so don't really want to buy another helmet. I know super glue is brittle, so assume that is not a good idea to mount the light bracket--any ideas for this?

I've no solution for you, but have you contacted the manufacturer of either your light or your helmet? Perhaps their support crew will have some ideas.

thanks, I can give that a try. I know from google that some go-pro users use a sticky mount sometimes, so will probably try that

Have you looked at the helmet headlamps that strap on with an elastic band?

GoPro Mount
 
Use GoPro side helmet mount. I have one on my Protone and is rock solid and clean.

thanks
 
that is what I want to end up with--assume it is an adhesive mount, but I need to use my light's bracket

I doubt it would stay on, and I already know I need 700+ lumens to ride the trails at decent workout speed (safely)
