Head lamps! They are great for doing work when both hands are needed. They are a serious pain when someone wearing one decides to stand there and talk to you. Seems they dont realize that while that light makes it nice for them to see your face it is also blinding you and everyone elst they look at! As for the really bright handheld light, as long as they are in the hands of an adult with some common sense, great. But please give the 8 year old a cheap light with a poor reflector. They just don't realize they are blinding people. Or if they do they think it is funny.
