I wanted a good headlamp. I wanted one with particular modes, which essentially matched my Preon 01 flashlight. Comes on in low, the low setting is VERY low, and highest mode around 60-100 lumens, and most important, runs on a single AA or AAA cell.
After looking at options and cost, what I ended up doing was taking the headband from a crappy old Winchester headlamp, modding it slightly, so that it has a little sleeve on the side to slide my Preon into.
Cost $0.
Labor: 15 minutes or less.
