I have bought a couple of nice head lights (for strapping to your

They don't seem to have them in stock at the moment, but they have
some other good stuff.


I have never worked out why I would need to strap a torch to my head.

I see the things on sale and wonder who on earth buys them, and what on
earth for?


When I take the wheelie bin down to the road on a moonless, overcast
night in winter, I use a headlight. There are no streetlights nearby,
and the neighbours are not close enough to provide any light.

My husband uses a headlight when working on awkward bits of computer
equipment, as it points the light exactly where he's looking, and leaves
his hands free.

They're also useful for seeing what you're doing if you need to work in
the crawlspace under the ground floor.
