Re: OT: Cheap Head-Lite
I thought this was a Mickey Mouse gift, but I wind up using it
often, as it fits tightly like eye glasses:
http://www.----------.com/flastlitethingie.jpg Many times the only thing
that will let me see say a bolt deep down in the bowels of an engine
compartment, because it's so closely aligned with my eye ball.

Re: OT: Cheap Head-Lite
I was just suggesting it because it's cheap, doesn't require any special
batteries and if you drop it and it breaks you're only out $7. I tried
it out last night and I found that it worked well in a flood light
setting but when I turned it to the spotlight i couldn't get it where I
wanted it. Either way, $7 plus batteries isn't bad.
