I am still a bit surprised at how much I use it for things like working on
cars and peering inside computers (maybe that means I don't have good other
sources of light?) but a little LED headlamp that I initially got for
camping (and I don't camp that much) comes in really handy really a lot of
the time. Mine happens to be a Petzl Tikka Plus that I got at REI, barely
bigger than the 3 (rechargeable in my case) AAA batteries that power it for
a good long time. It's an excellent little helper. There are of course more
powerful ones available, but they are larger and yes, more expensive than
$30ish.
