Do you prefer the traditional style or the L-Shape style?

I like the traditional style more. The L-Shape lights always reflect off my glasses.

I have glasses and only have the traditional style for the same reason.

I have just acquired an L type with tir optics. Didnt noticece any reflections.

Perhaps try to wear it higher on your head.

I have both styles and I prefer the right angle style over the traditional as the rubber strap allows a little farther adjustment and also when it gets hit instead of being "adjusted" by the hit the rubber strap tends to not be moved out of adjustment. You can also take it out of the headband and use it as a flashlight which I rarely do but have done.
