I have worn one of these for a few years now whenever we are driving in the car at night. Hubby tells me that it's not distracting like the car light would be (which is also illegal here) so I can complete little projects both going out and coming home. I find that it's also really good for quilting as it alleviates any shadow but it's best use is for changing the bobbin under my sewing table and looking for pins down there too. You can also get baseball caps with an led light in them too now, but it didn't have quite as much power as the headset does. Mine is adjustable to wide beam or more focussed which is the one I use in the car. Nothing to look at out the window at night anyway! I know you'll get lots of use out of it.
