How did people live without headlamps?

I love my Princeton Tec EOS Tactical. I had a headlamp like the Princeton Tec Fuel.  I liked how the FUEL look alike it could be angled down without changing its balance and the broad light of the quad LEDs.  Now it sits on my desk, waiting for another attempt with the super glue. So the EOS tactical wins on durability.  It had been through much and has never failed.  It is my coyote night hunting shotgun bead illuminator and can handle cold.  It is so handy for doing chores at night or working on parts of the house where the lighting is not in yet.  It is amazing how I don't even notice the dark when it is properly focused on what I am doing.
