The advantages of using a headlamp include improved mobility and convenience, better illumination of an area, and hands-free operation. They are lightweight and easy to transport, have adjustable beams and brightness settings, and can be powered by various sources such as AA or AAA batteries, USB-rechargeable batteries, or even solar power. Headlamps can also be used for running, mountain biking, and hiking, as well as for working in low-light areas such as attics and crawl spaces.
