The last time I used a headlamp, they still had those huge 9V single
batteries that sat in a pouch on your belt. Many years ago. The new
type do have a purpose.

This one

replaced a carbide light that I hadn't used since my coon hunting
days.

Never owned a battery on a belt light.

The old huge 9V battery types were used in the 50's and 60's. They
were used to spot bull frogs and alligators at night. Great for
giggin' frogs and being able to tell if what you spotted was a gator
or not. The eye colors were different under the shining light.
