I spend alot of time at construction sites, connecting tiny wires inside dark cabinets. And I've used alot of different headlamps.

My favorite is the $12 Coleman. Multiple LEDs for multiple brightnesses and viewing angles (as well as red LEDs for night viewing, which I've never found any use for). Works like a champ.

$179 for a headlamp? Rubbish. The Coleman is smaller, and if/when it gets lost/stolen/crushed-by-a-forklift you can buy a dozen new ones and a case of beer for less than one Solite.

And when the batteries run down in the middle of nowhere you can slap in your spares, without needing any friggin' USB, for heaven's sake.
