Now.. this took my husband some time to STOP laughing at me, but I now use a backpackers LED headlamp when I work in my room in the evenings. It's GREAT! DORKY, BUT GREAT! My light source is RIGHT where I need it every time AND my hands are completely free.

Matter of fact.. I have fallen in love with this idea so much I now keep a headlamp next to my reading chair. Our house has vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan. There's no good light in this place except for floor lamps. So.. as GOOFY as I look whether I'm doing hand work or reading.. I slap on my trusty headlamp and I'm GOOD TO GO!

That's my story and I'm stickin' to IT.....LOL
