Questions people ask

Will a headlamp fit over a toque or helmet?
Most straps adjust wide enough to go over a toque, and many helmets have clips for headlamps. Check how far the strap adjusts if it will be worn over thick gear.
How long does a rechargeable headlamp last on one charge?
Runtime depends on the brightness setting: low modes can run for many hours, while high modes run out much sooner. Listings usually show the runtime for each mode.
