Various different embodiments of headbands are disclosed, each having a light apparatus and, in particular, a removable light apparatus that is rechargeable through a USB connection. The embodiments each has a grommet that accommodates the passing of a portion of the light apparatus therethrough for frictional fit therewith such that the light apparatus is retained in place by the frictional fit with the grommet and light is projected by the light apparatus outwardly from the grommet when the light apparatus is turned on. The embodiments of the headband differ in the structure of the body and the relationship of the grommet to the body. A preferred embodiment is formed from a cotton elastane blend and includes a pocket from within which the light apparatus is partially received by the grommet. The pocket is formed by overlapping end portions of two interior fabric panels forming the interior surface of the headband.
