Headlamp for riding helmet?
Hey,
We don't have a riding arena and only have a small area at our stable. So we often go out riding, but in winter it's often dusk.
And on the road sections we always turn on our headlamps so that the cars can see us.
But then I always get a headache because the headlamp somehow presses the helmet against my head. I always keep it on the front of the helmet visor and on the part at the back where you adjust the helmet. Because if I put it all the way on, it slides off because my helmet doesn't go down that far at the back.
Do you have any good tips or experiences with these helmet headlamps? The ones with three straps.

it is forbidden to use a head lamp as lighting when riding. it dazzles the counter traffic due to the height.
there are rules for riding in road traffic and also those concerning riding in road traffic in the dark.
the horses must wear at least reflective gaiters and on the left side you need to wear a non-glazing lighting.
that looks like that and is made to the left side.

This includes a vest. also with lighting
and since more is, you can’t dress yourself and the horse in the dark even too much reflective gown.
We carry warning vests
There are thousands of headlamps…. The rubber bands could help you with a little looser. The screen can usually be removed from the helmet, especially it helps you.
Not only with a headlamp, but also with reflex equipment, so you can be seen early!
Of course we also use ☺️
Let that be with the headlamps.
There are very clear rules for horses in road transport.
For lighting at least: § 28 StVO (2):
1. front one non-glazing lamp with white light and at the end a lamp with rlight,
2. while running non-glazing lamp with white light, which on the left is clearly visible to the front and rear
Headlamps often dazzle.
Here is a satisfactory solution:(Leider with headlamp not approved for road transport)

According to my experience, in road traffic the greatest danger goes from behind, so red flashing lights would be more sensible, or both. You could ever attach two to the back of the saddle to the front, so that they can be seen from all sides, and these are also such cheap flashlights from Kick, or Tedi.
When it comes to the fact that the cars see you, it definitely needs more lighting than just the front lamp: e.g. boot lamp, reflective gaiters on the horse, tail reflector, possibly reflective renal ceiling, there are reflective chest straps, forehead straps, or just these light rings around the horse neck.
I meanwhile have these visiodingers instead of the conventional headlamp, which can be charged and are really super bright, in addition can be switched on and off with a hand movement, very light and keep well on the head, as well as on the helmet. Otherwise, a breast lamp would also be a bit for you if you feel the pressure on your head as unhealthy.
with horses on public roads in dusk or darkness, according to StVO requires sufficient lighting
not only with a front lamp on the helmet of the rider.
otherwise your horse will land at the metzger and you in the sick house
No riding horse lands at the butcher.
Uvex has a helmet with integrated light. But rather back and side. Have you ever tried a chestnut with light? You may be more pleasant.
For horse gaiter with light or tail part with light (yes there is really).
When it comes to being seen, there’s no need for such a lamp anyway.
Get an illuminated warning vest – one that is actively lit and not just reflected.
Buy the headlamp that the cyclists wear with their helmet,
