A little trick I have been known to use:
For a while, I used to EDC a 1xAA Ultrafire C3 (since replace by a NCDI). I put a clip on it for bezel up carry. Now, it is important to understand that I almost ALWAYS have a baseball cap on, or within arm's reach. When I needed some hands-free illumination, rather than hold it in my mouth (which would be especially bad for an EMT if he had already contaminated the light by touching the patient's fluids, then the light), I could clip it to the brim of my hat for an instant, comfortable, bright headlamp. No bulky straps to deal with, and no extra headlamp to carry. You have to scrounge an extra clip from something (old light, permanent marker, etc.), but it gives you the equivalent of having another light.
