The headpiece may be sizable and configurable for placement on the head of a wearer. A lamp may be provided on the headpiece. The lamp may include at least one light source. At least one battery may be provided on the headpiece. The lamp may electrically interface with the battery. A remote lamp control module may operationally interface with the battery and the lamp. The lamp control module may be configured to control emission of a light beam from the lamp.
