I used to think flashlights stupid: too little light and too little runtime: stuff them in a trunk & 3 years later when you need them the battery is dead. Then, I discovered the 40 lpw lux1 led, in October 2005 and captured by the cpf info in late 2007, when I sensed the lux1 was outdated (I never liked the 20 lpw lux3 other than color). But I still think all traditional flashlights (led included) are stupid, in their present form. I cannot possible think of a situation where would feel productive holding a round barrel flashlight in my left hand. My hands should be doing stuff, otherwise, I probably have no use for vision. I can walk around is .25 lux and not knock things over.
So, I am guessing headlamps do not count as flashlights. Do flashlights count as flashlights if they have been hack-sawed/glued/velcro'd/and elasticized into head lamps and wrist/armband lights?
