Not sure how dark it is at 5 am, but this might be enough if it's getting light during your ride.
I have this helmet, the purple one that matches my Gunner, but have found it doesn't quite fit my head... it does not have a dial setting and the three available fit settings are either too small or too large So make certain you can try it on first instead of just ordering it. I've been able to wear other Giro/Bell helmets without a problem, but not this one.
