OK, so you guys may be onto something with the headlamps. I am
going to have to give that a try. I think I'll try something basic
first, before seeking out the Cadillac of headlamps! I guess this
USB thing isn't really that big of a deal in the big picture of
things. I do think some sort of base or cradle is easier, but I
guess I can live with the USB. Maybe someday they will come out with
wireless charging like the phones have now. Another downside of the
USB, whether for lights or phones or whatever is that those USB ports
wear out. I have had a phone and a light with a broken/failed USB port.
