If you don't have a LED Headlamp you probably have seen them and
thought - "hey that looks kind of geeky" or "that looks cool, but it's
probably a waste of money". At least those were my impressions until
recently. I'll admit I'm a sucker for gadgets, it's fun to see what neat
ideas truly creative people can conjure up!
Flashlights are gadgets that have a very practical side to them and every household and every car should have one readily available. So flashlights have always been particularly interesting to me. However, until recently, I hadn't realized the usefulness of the LED Headlamp.
This past summer I had been clearing out some of the junk that had accumulated in my basement. Like most basements, I presume, there are a few corners which are poorly lit. When you are sifting through boxes of possibly soon-to-be-discarded stuff it helps to have both hands available - holding a flashlight in one of your hands really slows you down. It didn't take long for me to realize that I needed a LED Headlamp!
The headlamp I chose has six LEDs providing 4 different settings. The settings are: focused beam, floodlight, combined focused beam and floodlight, and night vision (red LED). It has a comfortable elastic headband and the back of the headlamp has foam padding. Additionally, the angle of the headlamp can easily be changed.
When I Really Needed It
Soon after buying my headlamp I helped my brother load his belongings into a rented moving van. After a long day of carrying boxes and moving furniture, we headed over to the truck rental office to hook a trailer up to the rental truck. This was well past dark, the rental office lot was poorly lit, and all the rental company people were gone. The trailer took longer than we expected, but we finally loaded his car on the back. Having the headlamp was certainly useful while attaching the trailer, but that's just the beginning.
Around 10:30 PM on a Saturday night in a part of town where you don't want to hang around, we finally were ready to drive off and call it a day. I was following my brother in my truck (F-150) and as we were pulling out I heard an agonizing sound from one of my tires. I pulled over and sure enough I had a flat. Not good news, and I really didn't feel like waiting around this part of town for help to come fix it. Fortunately there was an empty parking lot where I could park and do the change.
As anyone that has changed a flat knows, you need both hands. Plus if you are bent over looking under the car it's hard to tell someone else where you need them to point the flashlight. Fortunately for me I had my LED Headlamp. This kept both hands free and made the whole tire changing process less frustrating. Now I know, this headlamp sure is handy!
