iTP Light H01 CREE LED Headlamp Review Headlamps in one form or another have been around at least 100 years or so if you go back to the old carbide miner's lamps.  As modern technology has made them smaller and lighter, they've transitioned from industrial and specialty use to pretty common pieces of kit for today's outdoorsmen.  Despite that, I've somehow managed to keep from trying one out until recently!  I'm something of a flashlight nut, and have more than my fair share of lights, but I've resisted the headlamp urge until now.
