I'm using a Petzl E91 PL Tikkina 2 Headlamp
which has two LED light bulbs, two brightness settings, and an adjustable angle feature, so that you can aim it where you want it. (Thanks, Frank!)

Headlamp sketching
Union Square in New York City has nice little cafe tables where you can set up for night sketching. Here's one I did last night.
The view is looking west toward the subway stop and the coffee shop.

i am trying to figure out where you set up.... was it by the statue of charity (women with a child and fountain underneath)?
Pen, According to Google maps, I was at 23 Union Square West, where East 16th Street meets the square. There's a coffee shop on the corner.
just when i thought you couldnt get any cooler! haha
Way kewl.
Nice!
ahh thanks.. now i figured it out. you've painted the a south facing subway entrance - i was trying to figure out how the north facing would look like that.. anyway....(i commuted here for 5 years).
The "coffee shop' is actually a lounge/diner /hipster bar made famous by the show "sex and the city", like the show should have been, it was shut down for health violations a few years ago:

Have you ever thought about calling that fellow who does steampunk work and checking if he can steampunkify that headlamp for you? I bet it'd make for a pretty cool conversion!
(Also, the word verification here was "prialid". Sounds like a fitting name for an insectoid alien race. Actually, let me write that down...)
I attended a figure drawing session that was kept pretty dark, save for the lights on the model. So for awhile I was using one of those hats with LEDs in the brim -- it worked okay for me -- but was probably annoying for the models (and everyone else) as I looked from my easel to the model and back the couple thousand times necessary to finish the drawing. . .
Looks like there was a good amount of light all around you. I love head lamps especially the ones that you can direct like yours.
