The AAA's come with them. It was a two pack of lights. I suspect the batteries will last a very long time in these things. The lights have three intensity settings and one red setting. Having two lights on each one lets you point one light in each direction if you need to see two things at the same time.

Why can't I invent something like that.Tongue TiedLaugh

Interesting, Brent! Over the years I've tried dozens of methods to get the light where I need it and still not be working in my own shadow Super Angry Right now, I'm dragging a 48" T-8 fluorescent fixture around and tripping over the wire.

After a few minutes of wearing any of the dozen headlights I've tried they wind up hanging from my ear with my glasses stuck in them and the light shining somewhere off toward the horizon!

I remember a kind of "snake light" a few years back but I don't see too many of them anymore...

I didn't see a mention of the batteries? Have you tried rechargables in there? Does it use AAs? AAAs?

[edit] I looked for it on Amazon and answered my battery question! http://www.amazon.com/MyLight-HL000001-HUGlight-Hands-Free-Flexible/dp/B007R6NL3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1416511242&sr=1-1&keywords=huglight

 

Thanks for posting this, Ed

This thing is awsome. I hang it around my neck and point it up. Way better than the headlamp I was using. She got it at Costco.Thumbs UpThumbs Up
