I have never used a headlamp while freediving, but when I was a bubble blower I used one a few times. There are a couple of problems to consider.
One is that if there is any particulate at all in the water, the beam can be very disorienting, and even cause vertigo if you lose your reference point. This happened to me, and I would not use one again. Second is that if you are diving with a buddy, you will blind him or her every time you look directly at them, above or below the surface. So, if you dive alone in spactacular vis with no plankton bloom, then they will work great. I use a small PC light that is attached to my belt on a short lanyard. Cheers, Erik Y.

A few of my friends fish at night and make quite a bit of money. I tried it once and to be fair there is very little sport involved. 4 -5 lb Bass sit in the weed/current and don't move until you actually prod them, suffice it to say I took a couple for the family but don't think I'd give it another go you just come out feeling 'flat' if you know what I mean. I'll wait for my 10lber during daylight hours when it takes a bit of skill - will be waiting a while then!!

I had simillar experience with fish as I was diveing in the red sea, I almost hit a big ball shaped fish vcause I just didn't look where I was going... it is the grazyest feeling when fish just lie on the bottom and let you come close... but it is fun...I didn't kill any of then but can imagine that it wouldn't require much talent to get one of them..
