It's only a problem if someone asks me a question and I turn to look without turning off the light first
I can understand about conserving power. I have the case lamp which use the Kindle battery and a clip on led which uses one AAA.
I have used headlamp reading real books and yes when someone wants to talk to me and I forgot that I have the headlamp on (Petzl with the Xenon bulb) it was "We have ways of making you talk" time.
