Don't know how I missed this thread.  But I love the headlights.  A 
quick story about
my 1st one.  I can't think of the name of the store, but there used to be an
interesting gift store in the Malls.  Hay had all kinds of unusual 
thing.  Well apparently
my wife had gone there shopping for me.  So Xmas morning comes around 
and we all
start opening presents.  I open this one, some sort of flash light on 
a band.  I thought
to my self, "what the hell is this?".  I tried to put a smile on my 
face, as I think I'd
have rather gotten another screwdriver.  But what the heck, it's 
Xmas.  Several months later I'm doing something and try the 
headlight.  Man that NEAT!!!  Well over
they years I've acquired quite a few.

I recommend, if you a member of Costco, check them out.  They usually have a 3
pack.  I've bought one of the packs, then given both my boys and nephew one for
Xmas.  I've also bought the 3 packs, and put one of the ligths in 
several places in the
house and in the shop.

No I don't know how I lived so long without such a thing.
