Unlike many of you, I have no electrical background. I have been looking for a headlamp and am mostly looking for one that uses AA batteries. Every other piece of electronic equiptment I normally carry with me when I travel either has a recharagable battery (laptop, digital camera) or else uses AAs - camera flash, handheld flashlight.
I have also noticed that when traveling internationally, AAAs are harder to find. So, needling to carry only AAs would be a big help.
So, why do so many of the really nice headlamps run on three AAAs? It doesn'r seem like two AA take up much more room and would give something close to the same power. Is there some reason for this?
