Personally I think helmet lights are a bad idea for road riding, the rear light often can't be seen at all and the front is constantly changing direction which can confuse anyone you approach. Of course this is made much worse when they are (illegally, lighting should be fixed to the cycle and strictly speaking should not flash) used as the only lighting on a bike.
Wrong on both counts, I am afraid.
They are perfectly legal if you also have the required lighting on the cycle itself, it is their use that is the issue, the lights themselves ARE legal
Secondly flashing lights are perfectly legal as well, since 2005
