I don’t care how stupid they look, LED headlamps are some of the most useful things you can have. Whether your camping, working on a computer, soldering, you name it. Having a bright light pointed exactly where you are looking at all times is indispensable. Now that LEDs are cheaper and brighter than they ever have been before, it makes it a lot more practical than having a huge battery strapped to your dome. 1 or 2 AAA’s are all you need with one of these.

Believe it or not, you can also hold one of these in your hand! So you can skip the whole “Im not putting that dorky thing on my head” excuse , and use it like a regular flashlight. While reserving the coal miner look for when nobody is looking. I completely understand the feeling too, I don’t even own one myself, but my roommate does, and I’m sure I use it as much or more than him. So this post is just as much a reminder to get my own, as it is a prod for you to get one.
