Seems like when I'm under a sink, etc., I always need a small light
and never have a free hand.

Holding a small LED flashlight in the mouth works, but isn't ideal.

Would a small headlamp be an improvement? Or would I never have my
head facing quite the right direction? Have any of you tried it?

My bride has a LED light that fits around her neck when sewing, etc. I
may need to "borrow" it one day...

Like this one: (maybe a different brand)

"Wear it. Wrap it. Pose it. Point the light where you want - however
you want - and keep your hands totally free!"

Cool-- looks like it would be a winner for a job where you're
sitting-- I like my headlamp for moving around and working.
[especially overhead]

I've been tempted by the visor lights for baseball caps, but I rarely
wear a hat.

The last time I used a headlamp, they still had those huge 9V single
batteries that sat in a pouch on your belt. Many years ago. The new
type do have a purpose.

Time sure does fly...don't cha know.

I bought one headlamp, too big and heavy. Then I bought an ear led lamp.
Works great. I bought one long ago and was not cheap. This looks good.
