World's first electric headlamp?

[Scott McCrea]

A flashlight and a necktie. Poplular Mechanics Magazine, March 1940.

PLUS, horizontal cavers can use this and eliminate the helmet!

Before they invented headlamps - but right after they invented teeth - like holding yer flashlight in yer teeth!

I cant imagine holding such a big flashlight with my teeth.
That would be an almost obscene sight.

People had bigger teeth in those days.

So Scott,
can we assume that a new SWAGO caver's necktie might be on the drawing board? Fashion meets function! An all weather tie that never needs dry cleaning? hmmmmmm.............

Free Your Hands!
Don't bite a light . . . bite a Lite Bite.

The Nite Ize Lite Bite provides a safer, more comfortable way to hold a mini flashlight in your mouth. If you have ever attempted to simultaneously use both hands and direct the beam of the flashlight, you have probably held the flashlight in your teeth.

Now it's easier, safer and more comfortable. The patented design of the Nite Ize Lite Bite prevents front tooth contact with the metal surfaces of the mini flashlight.

The Nite Ize Lite Bite is molded from FDA approved plastic and is designed to distribute the pressure over a greater number of top and bottom teeth, reducing strain and risk of injury.

Excellent for intermittent hands-free lighting situations!
