Or this kind of IR-spot: http://www.conrad.fr/projecteur_ir_p_48674_49477_839780_209899_FAS In my opinion just three LEDs will not be enough for it. You have to find good reflection material also. Try and give us news.

I use this one on kites for night-flying and it's works very good. IMO it must be working for a reflective head-mount also. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7000000_nid=6RN6Q9VG0QbeXFHSXSN3Z1gl

This is a very effective filter. If its not enough put a third layer of green or red.
