Thanks, Ian. It says 'hard hat light,' do you (have to) wear it with one?

After realizing that holding a small flashlight with my
teeth was probably a bad idea (and painful), I decided I
needed a <i>good</i> headband flashlight. I have a couple
cheap ones, but they never seem to put out enough light for
working on cars in a dark shop or in the grease pit. I see
people using them on the tube, and they seem to work, but
the two I have--both powered by a couple AAAs--aren't even
as powerful as the cheap flashlights Harbor Freight gives
away (which work a couple times then quit). After checking
the Brazilian river/rainforest and a few review sites it
seems they are all over the map, from $10/ea to over $100!
The lumen ratings seem a bit suspicious too, with some
Duracell brand Costco has on sale for a 3-pack rated at
550ea, and at least some claiming over 1,100 (for a few
seconds bursts, anyway). Can anyone recommend one that
actually lasts enough to find the bolt that fell down
between the block and wheel well, and stays in place on your
head?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Bob<br>
