I picked up one of these Rayovac HeadLites at WalMart last night.

There are adult versions of varying ruggedness and brightness available from flashlight companies, military surplus, mining supply, forest firefighter supply etc. Biggest problem with the things is that guaranteed no matter which way you point your head, you will really want the light pointed in another direction. The wider and brighter the beam the more use they tend to be except as a novelty...the big 9v units aren't bad, the small ones are toys.
Lon Stowell did pass the time by typing:
Easy fix.. Couple of 6V lanterns, a hardhat, and some ductape. :)
I've seen it before.. rilly.

Seems like kind of a kludge rather than just buying the hardhat with a built in light.
I was just suggesting it because it's cheap, doesn't require any special batteries and if you drop it and it breaks you're only out $7. I tried it out last night and I found that it worked well in a flood light setting but when I turned it to the spotlight i couldn't get it where I wanted it. Either way, $7 plus batteries isn't bad.
