I like the LED headlamps and have two, but don't find current
listings for either. One made by Defiant was a special buy of the
day at HomeDepot.com for $14 several years ago. It has a regular
setting and a bright setting if you press and hold the button. IN
addition to the strap around your head, it has a strap over the top
of your head. I find this helpful when sweating as the light
doesn't shift.<br>
<br>
My second light is from Coast. The white LEDs have three settings.
It also has red LEDs for night vision. It is smaller and lighter
than the Defiant. It is also tough to remember which button is the
white light and which is the red. Search "Coast headlamp" at the
orange box. Mine is similar to this one:<br>

<br>
Both seem fine for under the house or up in the attic, though I have
no clue as to their actual lumen rating.<br>
<br>
I saw the three pack at Costco. If I didn't have two already, I
would have been tempted, though I've also been disappointed as I
don't think the Costco tool/shop buyers are actually tool people and
quality can be lacking at times. With Costco's return policy, you
can always try their product and bring it back if you don't like
it. Give the 4.7/5 star rating with 468 reviews, it is may be a
decent option.<br>

Listers,<br>

After realizing that holding a small flashlight with my teeth was
probably a bad idea (and painful), I decided I needed a <i>good</i>
headband flashlight. I have a couple cheap ones, but they never
seem to put out enough light for working on cars in a dark shop or
in the grease pit. I see people using them on the tube, and they
seem to work, but the two I have--both powered by a couple
AAAs--aren't even as powerful as the cheap flashlights Harbor
Freight gives away (which work a couple times then quit). After
checking the Brazilian river/rainforest and a few review sites it
seems they are all over the map, from $10/ea to over $100! The
lumen ratings seem a bit suspicious too, with some Duracell brand
Costco has on sale for a 3-pack rated at 550ea, and at least some
claiming over 1,100 (for a few seconds bursts, anyway). Can anyone
recommend one that actually lasts enough to find the bolt that
fell down between the block and wheel well, and stays in place on
your head?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
