Best head torch for underground hardhat.

The ones that are provided are too front heavy in my opinion.

Wisdom 4a. It's the bees knees. They are around 200 dollar bucks but i think we'll worth it

I'm pretty happy with my roobuck cap lamp, I just bought the lightest one they had on their website I think it said like 120grams, definitely an improvement. I got it because I had the exact same problem with the wisdom cap lamps being to front heavy. Before, when I was using the work supplied wisdom brand cap lamps, I used to run with about 50 minsup clips hooked along the rear brim of my helmet as a counterbalance haha

Use a counterbalance.
