For years I had occasional use for a flashlight. Make that decades. I've bought several LED ones.
Then I bought a cheap Rayovac headlamp, and this Christmas got an upgrade to the Petzl Tikka.
Now I don't have the "occasional use". These are so useful I grab them constantly. (of course aging eyes that need more light may have something to do with it)
Once you try a headlamp you'll wonder why it took you so long to figure it out.
