I picked up one of these Rayovac HeadLites at WalMart last night.
http://www.rayovac.com/products/flashlights/kids.shtml (It's the one in
the middle) It was $7 so I thought I'd try it out. If you're looking
for a cheap head lamp for trail work or late night work this seems like
a pretty good deal. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a really big
head. I have a large head and it's streched out all the way.

There are adult versions of varying ruggedness and brightness
available from flashlight companies, military surplus, mining
supply, forest firefighter supply etc. Biggest problem with
the things is that guaranteed no matter which way you point
your head, you will really want the light pointed in another
direction. The wider and brighter the beam the more use they
tend to be except as a novelty...the big 9v units aren't bad,
the small ones are toys.

Seems like kind of a kludge rather than just buying the hardhat
with a built in light.
