neck lights

Who uses a neck light? Which brand do you use, and what do you like or dislike about it? Thanks!

Best thing ever. I bought one...Then bought more for friends this Christmas because I liked it so much. What's nice about this one is how it turns on and off. What I mean is it only turns on or off, no pesky clicking from "hi" to "medium" to "low" then to "flash" to turn the damn thing off. You adjust the brightness by holding the power button on the very rare occasion you need it. I also like that the battery is in the back, making it more balanced.

It is much better quality than the pics look. https://www.harborfreight.com/290-lumen-rechargeable-led-neck-light-58043.html

Funny thing...I often seem to misplace it. Not because I've actually misplaced it, but because I forget I'm wearing it. Try that with a headlamp. LOL I gave my two cheap headlamps away because of it.

Also look at clip-ons. Like Coast HX4. Clips to hat brim or shirt collar.

I prefer rechargeable headlights over neck lights...
Because they light-up where you are looking.

I have a Matco brand that I actually use like a head lamp. Three levels of light and the charge lasts quite a while.

what's the advantage of a neck light over a headlamp ??

i tried the ez-red ones that had the red light, "realtree" branded. the red light was nearly impossible to get to work with double clicking, had to do it on each side, and didn't remember the previous setting. also, the pivot point kept pinching my neck. going back to my milwaukee ones with the big battery pack.
