Title: HEADLIGHT
Post by: giorgos on April 18, 2015, 03:15:12 PM
Many times I have to work in difficult conditions. An example is when I have to work in dark areas without outlet , so the use of a torch is important.
Unfortunately its not very handy because you need both hands to work, so if there is not a suitable place to stand your torch, you have to hold it, that means you have only one hand to work.
A good solution is a head-torch like this one

The cost is very low comparing the advantages you have.
So I am thinking to buy this headlight. Any suggestions?

My experiences with a similar products is that such rubber bands are not designed to be held over your naked head.

If you use them like that, those rubber bands will extend due the constant stretch and eventually will not be usable.
Additionally such of use will also cause poor blood circulation flow to your head. 

All such torches are designed to be attached over a safety helmet.
If you can accept  to get married by such a helmet?  then move forward.
 
The worst that it can happen to you, is to look like I do, when I am working inside in a construction site or factory.   ;D
