180 Degree Head Lamps

These seem all the rag these days, curious if anyone has suggestions?

I have two. Absolutely amazing. Rechargeable, 300-1000 lumens adjustable, and comfortable laying on creeper.
Shut most of the shop lights off when wearing them. Get pretty warm at a constant 1000 lumens. Usually run mine at 500. Unit will run 4-6 hours at 500 lumens.

I'm interested in one of these as well, but don't like buying the typical Chinese **** without support from Amazon. Anyone have a recommendation for one made buy a company with a US presence and after purchase support?

Bump, thoughts?

The unit pictured above sell for less than $20 on Amazon. I'm going to look around for something not made in China.

Something like that with a built-in magnifier would be awesome for my aging eyes - think of a Optivisor/Magnivisor with great lighting. Does something like that exist?

Looks like there are many options on Amazon.

Just make one. Optivisor + Warm/Floody Zebralight. (Superior to that low end **** on Amazon.)

Thanks, guys, but none of those magnifiers use the 180/230 degree LEDs.

That said, davefr's idea is absolutely brilliant, especialy since I already have an Optivisor and a Zebralight H52w. It's not a floody, but I think it'll do!
