When I work at night my report is due by 10am. At 7am my butt is thinking of sleep, not some stupid report. So I do them before leaving work. Headlamp does ok but shadows are an issue.That's a great idea.
Those COB lights seem to be able to light around corners so we'll see.
Thing is I type better without looking at the keys... yet not see-ing them at 3am causes a sense of needing to see them for whatever reason.
I just bought a Maglite ML50LX matte black 3 cell.
Having been around the the block since joining here, I find that for me, the size, weight, and all around form factor of the C sized 3 cell light just cannot be beat. Yeah, I wish Maglite used a Nichia 219b LED in it, and no, it cannot diappear in my dress pants front pocket, but it's bright, uses easily found batteries that don't require special chargers, and - Flying Spaghetti Monster forbid - it can easily be used as a defensive weapon if need be.
Plus, I like the newer grip Maglite is using on these lights.
Good score!!
