[DESIGN] Adapter to turn phone into headlamp

more_vert
When I'm backpacking, I use my phone as my e-reader, navigation, notebook, and light. The problem with using my phone as a light is that it only leaves one hand free. Many times I would like two free hands. It does not make any sense to bring a headlamp when I already have a very good light with me. And 95% of the times a headlamp makes it on a trip, the batteries are either dead or die during the trip so it's not as reliable as my phone which gives me a battery % that's very reliable. Has anyone developed an adapter to turn a smartphone into a headlamp? If not, can massdrop please do this?

I like this idea. I can't tell you how many times I've used my phone as my light while camping. I've dropped it a few times doing so. Luckily nothing bad has happened, but it's only a matter of time before I really mess it up. I'm thinking of a very thin but wide headband to hold the phone, with a partial sleeve/pocket to hold it. I could see a jacket that has a chest pocket with a window or opening, but that is not going to look good, and it means you'd always have to wear that jacket. Thanks for the idea!
