Barrie -As an alternative perhaps just attach one or more 9volt LED flashlights to the brim of a hat.
Or a stretchy headband could be modified to hold a 9volt LED lite in the way the typical store bought
headlamps are set up with a simple tilt hinge.

Lots of -Do it Yourself- Youtubes for 9volt LED flashlights for ideas. Getting the switch, LED's, resistor and snap connector all
connected into a solid little package that is reliable
to snap onto a 9volt battery seemed too much work until someone suggested I just use epoxy to make
a lump of all the bits.
Not pretty but so simple. Problem solved.

Good luck

Sorry I'm not aware of any 9v headlamps. Custom may be your best option. Contact Ahorton and see if he'll build you one.

I think you can run Stenlights off of them, but that's not exactly a common or cheap light.

Try a Pak-Lite website, they have headbands available for their 9V flashlights.

Or try some of DIY 9V lights and improvise a headband: you may try this one or one of its successors.

Cheers,

Tam
