I think this concerns the sort of headlamp one wears on one's head when spelunking, mining coal, etc. Definitely don't want a fire when in use.

Leah, now that I read this, that's how I'd interpret it too. It sounds like this is not for the type of headlamp used in cars but rather a body-worn light.

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "Punch his lights out."
