Evaluating Four Travel Lights

Island House Needlepoint tested four portable lights (two necklace lights and two head lamps) for stitching while traveling.  Joann focused only on rechargeable lights so she wouldn't have to mess with carrying batteries.

She looked at these:

a)        Lumos & Lumos knitting (neck) lamp

b)        Glocusent Original Neck Reading Light

c)        Petzl ARTIC CORE Headlamp

d)        Petzl BINDI Ultra-light Headlamp

Although the Petzl BINDI Ultra-light Headlamp was Joann's favorite, read the article to see the pros and cons of each tool to see which will work best for you.  Note that the Bindi headlamp comes in various colors but the pricing is roughly $49 plus shipping everywhere.
