Thanks Brian, have fixed the video. The helmet lights are 2 EDI-T T11 from DX cut in half, high beam is a triple XML T6 and running light is this usually on low with with a shroud.FYI: Video was private when I tried it. Needs access change to public.
Troutie and one other suggested doing what you have done to two of these zooming flashlights for the helmet and up to four on bars or forks in the Let's Design a Road Front Light Beam or whatever the tread is called. Looking forward to seeing the video.

That is a sweet setup. I am a newbie, and just starting this commuting, and now it is dark outside when I start. I am going to copy off your helmet rig, and I am going to use a couple of those cheapos off ebay for a start. My commute is about 8 miles in the dark morning.. And believe you me, this light bit is a LEARNING CURVE!!!
Enter my ELCHEAPO!! My wife claims that the $3.00 rear light is brighter than my PB Superflash Turbo!!! WTF!!!
WRT video. I did not understand the driver's use of high beams. What's his problem? The brightness of your helmet light was spared from his retinas until he hit his highs. Secondly, your floody main beam doesn't seem high, and does not appear to have an excess of high spill So he had to look right at the light, which everyone knows not to do. You were not as close to him as his near side headlights were to you, and high highs were WAY brighter. Maybe 90% of my traffic is repeat traffic, so educating drivers is part of the deal. It isn't legal to retaliate which makes sense with cars. When we are needing our night vision to avoid injury causing potholes and the light power difference is so great, re-education is appropriate.
