The Best Home Theater Tool Ever

Wednesday, October 01, 2008


Sometimes the simplest things are the best, my wife bought me the light pictured above as a Christmas present, it attaches to your head with an elastic band and is essentially the equivalent of the old miner's hat light. When I first looked at it I just laughed thinking it was a bit ridiculous, however, once I stopped laughing and realized my wife is usually much smarter then I am, I tried it out and I have to admit it is probably the best home theater tool I ever received.

My system is up against the living room wall so that when I pull it out to work on it there is actually very little light available in terms of seeing labels on connections. This head mounted LED light is extremely bright and allows me to both see and work on things at the same time since it leaves both hands free. I no longer need to send my eight year old upstairs when working on the system since I find there is a lot less cursing going on when I'm no longer trying to dangle a flashlight between my chin and chest while working on something. I highly recommend adding this puppy to your bag of tools.
