Cool Gadget I Found Tonight....

[darren24]

Maybe this has been posted or others use it but thought that I would share. I have on many occasion had to hold a flashlight with my neck / shoulder while fragging or inspecting a frag. Tonight at Walmart I found a LED flashlight that has a headband. The LED light itself is about the size of an egg. I got the 6 led version. Click it once and you get 2 red leds. Click it again and it changes to 2 white leds. Click it a third time and you get 4 white leds and it is bright. Cost about $14 in the hunting / camping section. It is an "Energizer" brand and comes with the 3 AAA batteries.

Yeah, man. I've got two similar headlamps. They're essential for camping/hiking. I leave one right beside my tank. The white led's are great for checking things out in the sump at night, and the red are nice for watching the critters at night.

If you look in the baseball card section or next to the cigarette isle there are LED "finger lights" with a velcro stap that fits on your finger. They would great to light up the side or top while you look through the front. Best of all, they are like $1.82. Rumor has it, you can pick them up cheap at e-bay too: http://cgi.ebay.ca/30-Bling-Pimp-Rave-Glow-LED-Colour-Finger-Light-Lights_W0QQitemZ260176449322QQihZ016QQcategoryZ106987QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.ca/30-Bling-Pimp-Rave-Glow-LED-Colour-Finger-Light-Lights_W0QQitemZ260176449322QQihZ016QQcategoryZ106987QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Also, there is the kind that can clip onto your bronco baseball cap.

Brandon those look cool as well. The good thing about the head band one is that it frees up both hands to frag, inspect, etc.
