randynavarro Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Two Christmases ago, my children received sleeping bags and headlights from their grandparents. I quickly confiscated the headlights and have been using them for my business. I can no longer live with myself and have vowed to return the headlights back to their rightful owners. I would like suggestions on a new headlight. I'm spoile by my Fenix but don't need anything as bright. But certainly brighter than the hardware store variety. There. . . .I feel better now.

Brad Manor Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 But Fenix now makes a really nice headlamp..... I routinely use a Petzl headlamp leftover from my climbing days. It is by no means "Fenix bright" but it's not bad. -Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 My kids got me a baseball cap with 5 LEDs in the visor. It's great for crawlspaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 My kids got me a baseball cap with 5 LEDs in the visor. It's great for crawlspaces. I'll take the one with the different colored LEDs - reminds me of the 70's and disco. On second though, I'll pass on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I'm with Tom. Keep your ill-gotten gains and get the kids new lights. I can see it now. Hey kids, these things are about worn out. You can have them back now! Bad Daddy, Bad.[][][] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I come here for support and I see I'm getting none. I think I might keep the headlights just to spite all of you. Lookin' at the Fenix. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 My kids got me a baseball cap with 5 LEDs in the visor. It's great for crawlspaces. Also - and I have this on good authority - if you wear one of those while you hold up a 7-eleven, the glare from the lights will obscure your face and you won't be recognizable on the security tape. (However, it won't obscure the tatoos on your arms, which the local constable, who happens to know you, might recognize and use as a basis for your arrest.) Also, later on, when they ask you whether or not you can afford a lawyer, don't say, "Well I coulda except they took away the money that I stole." - Jim in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hmmm, that sounds might close to the "voice of experience" talking, Jim!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
