Can't say I ever noticed that when I had one clipped to my safety helmet for a lot of years.
Most of us only have two arms

Funnily enough, I wore one on my safety helmet when working underground, and I was well and truly fed up of the glare that resulted. The answer was to take the light off my helmet and shine it on what I was looking at, but from an oblique angle. Result: no glare.
But your mileage may vary (and obviously does!).
Never had any glare. Sometimes had reflected light
Still only have two arms
Perhaps the light needs to be on a flexible antenna
An infra red thermometer that read zero at all times, a li-on camera battery that stayed charged for no more than three minutes, a high capacity li-on laptop battery that provided power for a shorter time than the standard battery.
You gets what you pays for...
YMMV
Providing the light with which to take photographs when being pulled on a sledge, through snow, by a dozen huskies, north of the Arctic Circle.
Recommended? You bet!
I use head lights all the time. When you need both hands free to work on something they are ideal for DIY - especially electrical and network wiring. Even simple stuff like getting behind a TV or hifi and plugging in leads. Hand held torches just don't cut it.
Me, and see above.
I have one which is. Actually, it's a non-head torch with a flexible stalk, to which I have added a strap as I couldn't buy a head-torch when I needed one. It turns out it's usually best to put the light right in close to my head - as soon as it's anywhere else I find the light gets shadowed by obstructions, whereas if it's near my eyes it shines through the same gap I'm looking through.

Next time I intend to do that, I'll buy one.
It could be a very long wait.
But at least I know what they're for. Thanks. ;-)
All the time? Every waking hour, you mean?
Miner' s lamps had a main beam and dipped. I used the dipped for working. Never had any problems
They get in the way when snogging, but other than that they are ok ;-)
Moving on from snogging, I suppose they could be useful finding your way around interesting, dark places, or even reading a map. ;-)
There are several answers to that, but they all lower the tone a little too far even for me ;-)
You still snog?

Yeah, but I am fussy so you can put the mistletoe down ;-)
electricians?
