I'm a camping enthusiast and graduate from the University of Minnesota in Electrical Engineering and I've got a lot of expertise working with LED lights and making them work, which ones are the best, etc.

I know there are a lot of little specialty camping supply vendors out there who make smaller quantities of products out there for people who really care -- for example feathered friends sleeping bags, which are priced at a premium but are supposed to be really good quality.

So - my question is: if I were to try to make a really well-made [color:"blue"]LED head-lamp[/color], what would it look like? What features would it have? Would it be solar powered? Would it be super bright like a car headlight or pretty dim so as not to blind your camping partners? Would it turn on automatically when it gets dark? Sky is the limit.

When I get a good idea of what kind of features people like, I will put it together and post pictures.
