I'm really not sure that's what you call them. They are the lights that fit on your head with some kind of an elastic band. Guess I'm more of a candle guy.
My kids, who are more high tech than I am, keep buying these head lights for me for Christmas or my birthday. I use them sometimes. They usually quit working about the third time I try them. Most of them are in the $30 to $50 dollar range. One cost $86 and change. It quit working right away.
I do have one good one. Throws great light and it seems to last forever. I ran it through an industrial dryer (in a coat pocket) and now it is all warped, and I need to wrap a rubber band around it to shut it off. I bought it on the way to a fishing trip when I realized I didn't have a light along and thought we'd be setting up camp at midnight. I bought it at a Walmart in International Falls for $6. Been looking for another one ever since.
Anyone else buy equipment where the cheapest piece of crap seems to work best?
