Hi - need to buy a new headlamp for pre-dawn runs. It's for illumination, not visibility. I've gone through about three Princeton Tec Fuels, and while I love how bright they are, I'm tired of having the battery-case clasp snap off and then make the light unusable.
Suggestions? Prefer AAA power because I own rechargeables. Thanks.
Duct tape is your friend. You should use it and keep the lights you have now.
why run with a head lamp - what kind of tool are you?
just watch out for cars they are easy to see.
The Petzl lamps seem to be a popular choice for running. I don't run at night often but I was surprised at how well my old Petzl stayed in place on my head, I didn't buy it with running in mind. My Petzl is over 10 years old and it's taken a lot of abuse, dropped in water etc. I wish it was a little bit brighter but I think the newer ones are brighter than mine.
is there a model which has a chest or waist strap instead of the miners headlamp model? I've seen several which must attach to a hydration pack, however I don't need the pack.

Stealth running is much more fun. Easier to sneak up on cars and watch the ones that see you swerve at the last moment not knowing what just appeared in their sight.
