Now that it’s gotten too hot to work outdoors in our yard we are focusing our efforts back indoors. We recently had an issue with water leaking behind our den wall so we remove all of the sheet rock.
There were some minor cracks in the foundation that needed patching. It just so happened that the wall extended behind a wall that connects to a small crawl space under our stairs.
It was a very tight fit and we were having issues with lighting under there.
First we started out trying to use table lamps but with such a narrow entry there was little room for enough lamps to provide efficient light with out being in the way.
Germaine went on to buy a work flashlight which has been great since the one we had was old and very dim, but it was a hassle trying to cement the wall while holding a work flashlight.
Luckily I had the chance to try out Energizer’s beam headlights. It hadn’t dawned on me to try using hands free bright headlights instead of a flashlight.
These worked so much better because they are hands free. When I got to the store (see my shopping trip) I learned there were several styles to choose from based
-
number of bulbs
-
number of lumens
-
distance of light beam
This is a great use for the headlights! You just never know when you will need one!

We have some of these too! They come in handy when something needs fixing around the house…plus they are great for reading inside forts!

My husband uses his headlamp all the time and loves it. In fact, I think he thinks he is making a fashion statement with it. 🙂

@glenda, I will admit I was a little scared and didn’t want to go in there but my husband was way too tall to fit comfortably. After I saw there were no rodents or bugs…just a few spider webs. I calmed down.
