I stumbled across this little gem recently.
https://www.brakefreetech.com/
It's a helmet-mounted tail/brake light that uses an accelerometer to go from three different modes of LED taillight to a bright, full LED brake light. There were enough positive reviews of it on YouTube that I pulled the trigger before I left for a long business trip, and it was waiting for me when I got home yesterday.
It really works well. The thing I really like about it is that it attaches to a small mount that is 3M taped to the back of the helmet. So, you can unclick it and put it on as many other helmets as you have attached mounts. Since I swap between helmets for my daily commutes, it's as easy as moving my GoPro to another helmet. Plus, it's rechargable through a micro USB port.
It adds a bit of weight to the back of the helmet, but once I got on the road this morning for my first ride back to the office, I didn't notice it.
One more measure of safety for battling the freeways!
