About a year and a half ago I bought a cap from Menards that has two LEDs built into it. The batteries were pretty dead, so I stopped by the Dollar Tree Store at the Mall Of America, since I was shopping there anyway. It is powered by 2 CR2032 button cell batteries. The pair of them was a dollar, so I thought that was worth it. Close by is Radio Shack. They wanted about $12.99 for three CR2032 button cell batteries. Anyway, I started researching caps with built in LEDs. I found http://panthervision.com/ has a lot to choose from. Are there others besides this company? I see these at home improvement stores, Cabelas, and Gander Mountain. I want to get another one that has at least 4 LEDs. Has anybody seen any that have more than four LEDs built in? Also, are the CR2032 button cell batteries the most common ones for LED caps?

For white LEDs the usual is two 2016s, red is usually one 2032. The fact that your hat uses two 2032s shows that someone was thinking when they designed your lights, since two 2032s will last longer than two 2016s. 2032s are twice as thick as 2016s (20x3.2 vs 20x1.6) and have a little over twice the mAh capacity. Both are 3v.
I buy my coin cells through Amazon, and pay about fifty to sixty cents each in quantities of ten or so.

Have you thought about a clip on cap light?
There are many variations.
