Headlamp Flashlight?
Anyone out there use a headlamp when doing interior details? I have bad lighting in my garage and rather than messing around with a corded LED light, thinking I will pick up a headlamp. Looking for a good one.

I have a cordless led light that works well. If you want to go to the next level get one of those long led light bars that hook on your hood when working on an engine. NAPA has them and I believe harbor freight. No cords lots of light

Using a Coast HL27...use it for both interior/exterior....makes it much easier to find the small stuff...

I've been loaking at the coast ones. I found a 144 lumen used one for 12.99 on Amazon. Looks promising.

I use my Nitecore HC90 all the time when doing paint correction and interior jobs.
And I also have an ATD underhood light that is just plain awesome to use for interiors.

Coast is so so. They're over priced IMO.
Here's what I got:
Amazon.com: Led Lenser H7 Flashlight (Black Clam): Home Improvement
1 button on/off. No triple clicking to find the setting you want
Adjustable beam pattern
Adjustable light output
They make a rechargable version (which you can replace the batteries or just use regualr AAAs in)
Very bright, I can't use it on the max setting in tight quarters, blinding reflections.
You'll be hard pressed to find a headlamp like this one at this price.

I have the black diamond Spot 130 lumens. Works great.

Watched the video on it, too much clicking for me.

Do you ever find yourself wanting more light output with it?
