    do you wear anything under your headlamp?

    Use a cycling cap for extra cushioning and less slip with the visor. Like a welder's cap, it has a small visor that doesn't block much light when aimed down.

    Quick notes on Philips SafeRide vs. B&M IQ CYO-RT

    I have the same mount as PpPete. That flattened section with the stamped notches is the same. The wire thickness for the mount actually seems to be ok, but after the stamping, it's too thin, right where the vibration affects it with the most leverage.

    Quick notes on Philips SafeRide vs. B&M IQ CYO-RT

    Ok, my stupid curiosity got the best of me, and I have both dyno-lights in my possession, in a total lapse of good judgment (I only have one bike). :shakehead Tested them back and forth, and have some notes to share. Running them off a Shimano DH-3N80 dynohub. The B&M CYO-RT... ...to...

    Love the headlamps, hate the headbands

    I agree, the ZL headband feels like an afterthought. I tend to use it with a cycling cap (short bill) to keep the silicone holder from poking me, and to prevent it from wobbling. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the lack of a quick release ability when you want to hand hold the light.

    The Missing 2AA Headlamps

    Re: But I Want Overkill! Oversize, heavier headlamp units have been the bane of my outdoor experiences--they just don't work well on a single strap headlamp. Less bulk, less weight is always preferred, and a 2AA light needs to have convincing advantages to make it worth using for me. I...

    The Missing 2AA Headlamps

    I don't miss them at all. The fully integrated 2 AA lights I had didn't work well with a single headband unless you have it on a helmet or hat to keep it from slipping, especially if you're jogging, or hoofing it down a rocky slope. Much worse if you needed to angle it down, and it stuck out...

    Headlamp Survey 2011 - Now Closed.

    Re: Headlamp Survey 2011 - Please Participate! I have to say, that survey was not friendly on the eyes. It's only a handful of questions, but looked like thousands.

    Not Gonna Buy Cool White Again! [Join Club Here]

    This one is simple. I'm grilling outside and it gets dark. I grab a cool white light and try to see how things are cooking, but can't tell because the color is not conducive to showing a nice browning, no matter how bright it may be (all the food has a sickly greyish color). Neutral white and...
