Default Recumbent Trikes - Where to Put the Lights?

From my early tests, it seems to me there is even less real estate on
the handlebars of a Darkside trike as on a normal bike.

I'm going to need a computer, mirrors, lights and preferably also an
Airzound horn, in addition to the brake and shifter controls. Where does
it all go?...


I have an older version of this mount on the derailer [1] mast of a SWB
recumbent [2] - it should work on any trike with such a mast:

This has room for two lights, or a light and a cyclometer.


This would be great and fantastic if A was getting a front derailleur
equipped Scorpion. In fact she's getting the SRAM Dual Drive which
comes with a plain front end.

There is what looks like a lumotec oval mounted on the boom.

I think she could specify a boom with a derailleur post though if she
wants the computer wotsit real estate.

Also looking at the HPvelo price list

there are lights, bottles and airzounds listed so they must know where
they go.
