Ever Ready Headlight LED was created by Paul FitzGerald
I saw and bought this item just last weekend, and managed to get out on Sat. night (1st night in ages :evil: ) and try it out.

It has two settings by means of a sliding switch:
1. A twin diode white LED with magnified lens, and
2. A single red LED.

I was very impressed with the white leds, as they lit up the area 4m in front very well.

The red led is of course weaker (1 diode, different wavelength), but it was great for observing, as it gave just the right amount of light for (viewing black) maps. And as it's on your head, the light sourse is up close to eg eyepieces as you work on them.

It was v. comfortable to wear, and I'm no fan of having to wear headgear.
I think the switch may be difficult to work with gloves though.

It retails for ~€15.00.

fyi

Perhap because light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
