I have an almost unused forehead mounting light sitting in my junk box. It's there for 2 reasons.
1) It attracts a lot of small creatures to the front of my face and occasionally needle fish which can swim and stick into exposed skin.
2) It really cuts down on visibility by reflecting back off any suspension in the water.

So what I use to read instruments and to guarantee a minimum light source in case of main dive-light failure is hang a small pencil type marker off one of my chest d-rings.
Works perfectly and when I'm horizontal it hangs close to the instruments.
 
the Q40 LED i own is *bright*. i would not want to dive with a buddy that had one of these on their mask strap. imo, the concept is a bad idea unless you're diving solo, diving in really murky water, or shooting pictures or something like that...
