That's the way I'd go. Find a way to attach the light to your best winter hat so that it's always where you need it.

A person could mount one on a hard hat, get a winter liner for the hat and be set to go.

   The 524 MTD Gold and other machines came with a light.  You could search around for a dead one of those machines and get the components and install them on y our engine and body (inexpensive) or buy them new (expensive).  Around here, eastern Massachusetts, there were a lot of 5hp MTD Gold machines sold so they show up often.  I have one and holding on to it to plant the light on something in the future.

  Yeah.... guys those parts are very expensive... ( It may need the flywheel with the extra magnets in it) 

  Plus he would also have to take the flywheel off to mount the generator....   ( that is a little tuff for most people that haven't worked on these before)

  Those 6 or 12 volt lights are rather dim,  the generators don't put out much current ... 

  I still like the headlight idea...
