00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.176
Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.176 --> 00:00:04.502
Freedom. These are my L H K

00:00:04.523 --> 00:00:06.400
N L rechargeable headlamps.

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:08.513
I used them constantly under the van,

00:00:08.533 --> 00:00:10.433
at night and in dark spaces inside

00:00:10.624 --> 00:00:11.947
as the build filled out.

00:00:12.032 --> 00:00:13.568
They were easy to recharge and good

00:00:13.568 --> 00:00:15.222
value. Having a light worn on my

00:00:15.222 --> 00:00:16.758
head was useful when both hands were

00:00:16.758 --> 00:00:17.954
busy with the work.

00:00:18.166 --> 00:00:19.916
The matching product picture shows the pair

00:00:19.916 --> 00:00:22.220
of lamps, their head straps and charging

00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:24.140
leads. The light units sit at the

00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:25.195
front of the straps.

00:00:25.395 --> 00:00:27.017
The picture keeps the review tied to

00:00:27.017 --> 00:00:28.489
the rechargeable pair I bought,

00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:30.259
rather than treating every headlamp with a

00:00:30.259 --> 00:00:32.151
similar shape as the same product.

00:00:32.335 --> 00:00:34.682
My build photographs show the wider workshop

00:00:34.682 --> 00:00:37.071
context: the portable saw setup and the

00:00:37.071 --> 00:00:38.651
drawer construction on the patio.

00:00:38.693 --> 00:00:40.442
I moved between work areas as the

00:00:40.442 --> 00:00:43.672
project progressed. The illustrative workshop footage shows

00:00:43.672 --> 00:00:45.465
measuring and holding tasks,

00:00:45.507 --> 00:00:47.726
while my firsthand headlamp account comes from

00:00:47.726 --> 00:00:49.966
working underneath the van and in dark

00:00:49.987 --> 00:00:52.748
interior spaces. A headlamp directs its light

00:00:52.748 --> 00:00:54.284
with the way the wearer is looking.

00:00:54.412 --> 00:00:56.118
That changes the arrangement from holding a

00:00:56.118 --> 00:00:57.826
separate light in one hand.

00:00:57.953 --> 00:00:59.895
The diagram follows the head position,

00:01:00.001 --> 00:01:02.187
the light direction and the work area.

00:01:02.324 --> 00:01:04.159
Those three parts connect the light to

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.439
the job in front of me.

00:01:05.481 --> 00:01:08.255
My page includes two researched alternatives.

00:01:08.553 --> 00:01:10.857
The Petzl Tikkina has a compact light

00:01:10.857 --> 00:01:12.947
housing with a single-button layout.

00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:15.035
The Black Diamond Spot four-hundred R is

00:01:15.035 --> 00:01:17.362
a rechargeable alternative with a different control

00:01:17.468 --> 00:01:19.857
arrangement. Their matching pictures make the different

00:01:19.857 --> 00:01:21.607
housings and straps visible.

00:01:21.692 --> 00:01:23.612
My firsthand review here belongs to the

00:01:23.612 --> 00:01:25.668
L H K N L pair.

00:01:25.802 --> 00:01:28.192
For me, the useful combination was frequent

00:01:28.192 --> 00:01:30.262
use and convenient recharging.

00:01:30.325 --> 00:01:31.733
I kept using these lights as the

00:01:31.733 --> 00:01:34.273
interior filled out and darker spaces became

00:01:34.336 --> 00:01:35.382
part of the work.

00:01:35.616 --> 00:01:36.948
I thought they were good value.

00:01:37.127 --> 00:01:39.090
The practical comparison is how the light

00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:41.863
is carried, controlled and recharged as it

00:01:41.863 --> 00:01:44.467
moves between jobs. Thanks for watching.

00:01:44.509 --> 00:01:46.654
I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom.

00:01:46.792 --> 00:01:47.987
