I do a lot of work outside at night, and I need my hands free all the time.
I’m willing to build one if I cannot find one to purchase, but ideally someone here will point me to a floody, wide-angle, high-lumen (2000 or more) headlamp — with a separate battery pack that clips onto my belt or pants waistband:
- It only has to run on high for about an hour at a time.
- A simple on-off or stepped interface is best (no strobe, SOS, etc).
- I don’t care too much about color temperature at this point.
- I think I prefer one or more 18650 batteries.
- The headlamp part should clip or velcro onto a baseball cap.
- The connecting cord should be flexible, even in the cold.
I really do not need or want yet another ‘project’ at this time, but … if I have to build it myself I will probably go for high-CRI emitters and whatever other components are readily available to make the build as fast and easy as possible.
My overall goal is to wear the battery on my waist (to minimize the weight on my head) and to have tons of light output in a wide, floody pattern.
Is there such a product as this, or do I need to make one myself?
