Using iBike at night

I do interval work once a week before work. At this time of year in Melbourne the sun doesn't rise until 7'ish and by then I am nearly done . Does anyone have any tips on lighting the iBike at night other than riding where there are street lights?
I tried a head lamp on my helmet but I could not read the unit because the light is shining at the wrong angle (directly down). Also, can we get the screen contrast setting back or perhaps in version 3 a backlight? That might help me.
The iBike 2 is great by the way. I can ride the back roads now without any drop out. Well done!

Damn, stem mount, but for less than $10 it's worth a try. Thanks very much.

I got a burst of inspiration and attached a flashie to the chin strap on my helmet. It does the job. It must look a werid though.
