I'd like to semi permanently mount mine to a hat/cap/helmet. Any ideas? I want to just grab the cap/helmet and have it on. The cap/helmet would need to have enough rigidity to hold the headlamp without collapsing (so it would need to be a rigid plastic something-or-other) but lighter than a climbing helmet, because I don't need padding or protection.
Ideas? So far best idea I've had is a bump cap. A hard hat is too high profile.
(And I will be pulling the reflector first thing, flood addict that I am.)
No reports until after Christmas, as someone is 'getting this for me.'
You lucky dog! I have to admit I've been feeling the need for more run-time with my H51w and my ST5-190nw, particularly when I'm working in my shop in the garage, or doing chores around the house after dark.
Now I'm torn... I was leaning toward an ST6-460 but the possibility of using AA's is very appealing...
For your uses, B, I'd think a bump cap would be enough to hold the light and battery pack. But are you considering it as a work light? The BP will certainly get in the way then, unless you're going to belt carry it with the extension cable. That might be a solution for me for working in my garage (which is not illuminated nearly as well as I would like) to get the run times I want, and in that case I wouldn't mind the external battery pack. But, I'd never use it for anything else but the most simple or sedentary outdoors activities, like biking, hiking, etc., because the battery pack and cord just get in the way too much for my liking.
Anyway, when you get it, let us know what it's like and how it works for you. I can easily find a justification for getting this light... Yes, Dear... I "needed" it for doing chores and working in the garage at night! Yeah, right... sure, she'd buy that!!!
