Cap lamp

It is mostly used in an underground environment, like mines or during outdoor activities, e.g. climbing.

A patent for a self-adjusting bracket for use with cap lamps was awarded in 1985.

The GEN 4 model, approved for use by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MHSA), uses the headpiece of existing cap lamps, but retrofitted with new LEDs and electronics.

These lamps will last up to 50 hours with a six-cell battery pack.
