This is more a fashion question than technological, but ergonomics and functionality might come into play…
Do any headlamp manufacturers target women in their product lines? From the searching I have done, only Black Diamond has a color scheme I would characterize as feminine. Olight has that blue ring and blue band which is maybe close to being feminine, but that goofy charging system kills my interest in giving it to the one I love! Petzl has white and blue but far from feminine. Anyone have softer, more pastel colorization? It would be nice to see combinations such as Light Gray host/Lavender Accents, Cream host/Cyan accents, Mint Green host/Pale Pink accents, etc. I realize, maybe 1 in a hundred headlamp purchases are for females, so that probably kills any business venture looking into this.
So, my lady could probably handle a black or gray anodized headlamp if the strap was purple, or sea green, or light blue, silvery, or flowery, paisley, or something “cute.” Just not with a big bold COMPANY X brand obnoxiously tattooed all over it… WHO MAKES REPLACEMENT/CUSTOM STRAPS???
Also, the easiest controls possible, meaning click on for dim, click again for low, click again for medium, click again for high, click again for SOS, click again for off, with no memory… and a charging port, probably micro usb to whatever battery makes sense. I have no idea. 18500 or 3xAAA? Could an integrated charging system be setup to charge either Li-Ion or Ni-MH?
*This inquiry is for one person in mind. I don’t doubt this could apply to many others as well, but I AM NOT attempting to classify women as a whole. Heck, my favorite color is purple… but it would have to be one very cool purple for me to wear it on my head!
