You have a self-selected group when you ask TRF who buys what.  Folks who are 
not really interested in originality buy their headlamps at Autozone.  I, for 
one, buy the sealed beam halogens at a minimum.  Sealed beam halogens are 
available everywhere from Ace Hardware to Walgreen's and for a good price, too.  
More light for the same amps.
