Anybody use headlamps in their shop?
Handy things, but I only use them for crawling around under machines.
If you need more light, go to a S/H office furniture shop and get a
big old draughtsman's Anglepoise or Luxo, preferably wall mounted. One
with a magnifier _and_ a hinged lid over the top can do double duty as
either light, or light and magnifier.
If you really want a headlight, get an LED one. More efficient, less
power needed, so lighter batteries.
Seems a company called Petzl makes the high end ones.
No, they make the expensive ones. I've a pile of Petzls with bust
switches - even the cool one with the non-round screwthread.
