Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Mario Filippi (N2HUN), who writes:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I recently purchased a pair of LED strip light headbands from Amazon for use while doing jobs around the house in areas where the lighting is poor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These might be helpful also for SWLs and hams, especially for listening at night when in the field. They boast a 220 degree arc of light, high\/low\/flasher settings, rear red flasher, USB rechargeable, weigh about 5 ounces and are more comfortable than the older bulky headlamps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are many different versions of these strip LED lights available so you can shop around for the one that best fits your needs.<\/p>\n

This is excellent, Mario. Thank you for sharing. I’m a huge fan of headlamps, but I’ve never seen an LED strip headlamp–I see where that wide arc of light would be useful.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
