Head Lamp

[JohnnyDrama]

I also have a Petzl Tikka and like it. I bought it not long before good, inexpensive lights became easily available. While my Tikka still operates great, I probably use the cheap ones more. I can keep one in my truck, another in a day pack, another in the tool box....

You get the idea.

I use the Streamlight double clutch every day at work. Good solid light bright and its not too bad price wise if you get online. The tool trucks charge double.
I recommend getting a couple of extra batteries for it so you can swap them out when one needs a charge.

I have probably close to 2 dozen headlamps of various makes and sizes. What I tend to carry with me every day and use 90+% of the time is the cheap ($15/ea) Energizer headlamps.

They are bright enough for everything I tend to do, from work and auto repair to hiking in during hunting. They're small, lightweight and reliable and, because they are a lot cheaper than many options out there, I don't worry if they break (only had 2 break over the last 15 or so years) or get lost.

They don't zoom to focus the light to a spotlight, but I rarely need that option. The one I linked is 300 lumens which is plenty bright enough for anything I need to do.

With a fresh set of batteries before the first day of hunting I don't have to replace the batteries at all during hunting season and typically still have power for random headlamp use until late summer.

I have been thinking of replacing the flashlights in the cars with cheap headlamps. If you got a spare hand then headlamps are fine to hand use. And if you need both hands a flashlight is a pain.
First world problems.

Also just a general comment. Headlamps have replaced all my car work lighghts except for a few rare cases. And as I age my eyesight sucks without copious light. Headlamps help is huge.

Okay, I got the whole wrong idea with the title of the thread.

A headlamp is a lamp attached to the front of a vehicle to illuminate the road ahead.



But, if you Google Search images of Headlamps, you get the kind worn on your head.
Interesting phenomenon

I assume since no vehicle information was posted by the OP he was looking for a light that goes on your head. Yes it can have that meaning as well.
