Very cool tool

I got a new light for Christmas called a Clipmate made by Streamlight and is it ever cool. It is an LED that is suppoed to last 110,000 hours and the batteries(std AA) are supposed to last 3 times a long and it is small. I have been working under my truck in some rather confined spaces and it work great, it will clip on a flat surface or your hat or it come with a band so you can strap it on your head.

Like the old commercial says "Try it you"ll like it".

Two Color Lamp

The post by ...79blueoval "Very cool tool", Clipmate is a good one, another good light is one made by "Energizer" it has two white LED's(really has a blue tint to them) and one red one, slide sw on top above LED's, the head pivots, has a elastic headband that is adjustable puts out a lot of light comes with the batteries (3 AAA's) I have been using mine for over five months still on org. batts. The red is good for those of us that hunt , I don't know about being water proof yet. Got mine at Wally's World.

I use a fishing "headlight"... An elastic headband with a small square flashlight attached... It swivels and focus' from spot to flood... I got it at Wal-Mart for about $7.00... They make more expensive ones, but I thought this would work fine (it does)...
