I think most wear it around their neck out of fear of looking like an over-zealous newbie... to show how seldom they actually need it. Who knows, but for me, a light dangling on my neck is a flat out nuisance.
The one I have is essentially a headlight. Hang it around your neck (so that bloody wave can't get it without a fight...) until you need it , then move it up to your forehead and bring the strap up as needed...

A hell of a lot more comfortable over time, to say the least.
The one I have also has an adjustable LED head, which does pretty well even at the neck, or when I sometimes bring it up only to place the pad over my mouth (too busy/lazy to get it up to the forehead and works almost as well, without it getting in the eyes at all).
