‘A bright idea!’ Score two bestselling LED headlamps for $20 — that’s $10 a pop

Yes, it’s that time of the year again, with long, dark mornings and short, dark afternoons. But our lives can’t stop when the sun goes down. Whether you’re walking the dog at 6 a.m. or bringing in groceries at 6 p.m., hands-free lighting helps. Enter the No. 1 bestselling GearLight LED Headlamp: This bright, lightweight hero offers seven light modes, and you can pick up two for $20 — that’s just $10 each.

Why is it a good deal?

This two-pack can go for as high as $30, so snagging two for $10 each is a steal. And it also means you can pick up a set for yourself because it pays to stay safe!

Why do I need this?

Sunlight is shrinking, but to-do lists are not. When tasks need to be handled outside and there’s no natural light, these headlamps are a huge help.

The runtime is around 10 hours on the lowest setting (turning them brighter will burn the battery faster), and they’re battery-powered so you can easily swap them. Of course, rechargeable batteries — like these from Energizer — will help eliminate unnecessary waste.

They’re also weather-resistant, so no worries about them getting left in the dark (ba-dum-tsh) if it begins to rain or snow. They’re a fantastic purchase for camping. After all, putting up a tent is hard enough on its own. Doing it at night is torture.

What reviewers say:

Nearly 32,000 shoppers and counting have given these GearLight LED Headlamps a perfect five-star rating.

One confidently kooky neighbor said, “I use these for everything: polishing my nails in the dark, taking my trash out in the wee hours — you name it. Yes, I’m that neighbor. I keep an extra pair in my car in case I want to eat a pastry in there at night and not get crumbs everywhere. They’re great! Oh, I use this lamp for hiking too … in the dark of course. Highly recommend.”

Of course, it has applications for handyman work too: “Will use it to do plumbing repairs — I need to keep my hands free to pinpoint leaks in pipes.”

“A bright idea!” added another five-star fan. “I love these. I got them for walking my dog at night, and I don’t care if I look like a weirdo.”

“These headlamps are just what I needed to safely walk my dog at night. The light is bright and provides a wide area of illumination. And my hands are free to clean up after my dog. The band is adjustable and the light itself can be pointed straight out or angled down. I’m very happy with my purchase. The only downside is the lamp takes 3 AAA batteries, which are not included,” wrote one customer. (Psst: Consider this $6 eight-pack from Amazon Basics or invest in some rechargeable Energizer batteries.)

Psst: Consider adding these to the Christmas stocking — a set of rechargeable Energizer batteries.

“Save money,” advised this shopper. “Only way to go. I was wasting so much money on batteries every week. My son is a gamer so he’s always in need of batteries.”
