First post, but I occasionally lurk around here.
My friend is in dental school. She was required to buy these $300+ Designs for Vision DayLite dental headlamps a year and half ago. I believe it's this one (or something similar within this line):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-M...n-LED-Daylite-Mini-Loupes-Light-/200933533202
Her battery no longer works and it's passed the 1-year battery warranty. A replacement lithium ion battery costs $85 from the company.
Is there an alternative to either the battery or entire dental headlamp? She complains it's too heavy anyway.
I wish there was a complete DIY project for this. I've seen a few attempts at home-made dental headlamps here in the past, but they never seem to have anything to show for it. It's a niche market, but there's a huge mark-up on these lamps. I'm sure there are special color requirements (I believe it usually comes with an amber filter), a tight beam and it has to be able to withstand sterilization (autoclave? not sure), but I'm sure there's an affordable one available somewhere. If you know of any, let me know!
