If you have ever cooked
outdoors after dark, you know how frustrating it can be without good lighting.
Even if you have an outdoor floodlight fairly close by and pointed right at the
grill, it never seems to be adequate. And those clip on lights always seem to
get in the way and never throw the light in the right places.
The answer? LED
headlamps. Designed for hikers and night skiing, these lightweight, easy-to-use
hands-free flashlights will cast a wide beam of bright light wherever you
are looking. It's like the light is coming right out of your eyes!. You will use
them every time you BBQ at night, but you will also use them to look for things
in your basement, during power outages and anything else you would use a
flashlight for.
The brand is Petzl, considered the
industry leader in quality and technology, and durability. They come in three
models, gaining power and features along with price. This one is the
