Two months ago, we made a necessary trip to Nashville for my husband’s medical testing. Instead of securing a hotel room, we decided to take the camper. After all, our family loves to spend a weekend at a campground! We had a few snags along the way and ended up arriving much later than expected. It was beyond dark, and my husband had to do all the hook ups with limited light. He had a headlamp but it didn’t illuminate enough for him to see where he needed light. I held my phone’s flashlight up for him, but just couldn’t get it in the right spot for him. We were both frustrated by the time we finally got settled in. Oh, how the OVLED headlamp would have helped!
What makes OVLED special is the lighted band, which provides area lighting instead of a single beam. This enables the user to see around, instead of just ahead. Invented by Walt Sedlacek, this headlamp is priced just under $15. It makes a terrific gift!
The stretchable headband is quite thin, comparable to a dog collar or sport band. Since it uses tiny AAA batteries (3), you’ll notice that it’s very lightweight. Users can choose between two lighting options, making it ideal for anyone who needs a little extra light!
Consider this for the people on your list who could use an extra set of hands and a light around them. Runners would appreciate being able to see all around their area. Lovers of the outdoors, such as campers and hikers, can find uses for this headlamp. I think I might even use it to read! I’m planning to buy a couple of extras to have around the house in case of power outages.
How would the OVLED headlamp help you?
Thanks to OVLED headlamp for sending us a product sample!
I would love this to be able to keep my hands free when working on something and need light!
it would make a good gift for my friend!
This would be great for cycling in the evening!
I would love to use this when I’m sewing and need a little extra light when I’m doing something intricate.
I would use this for finding things or cleaning under the sink while keeping my hands free.
This would be useful for reading in bed at night.
We are very rural without street lights. It is dark at night and even our outdoor lights do not give enough light if we have to do anything at night. We all have headlamps but I recently broke mine. i would love to try this one.
I would love this for grilling outside in the evening.
This would be great to keep in the car for emergencies.
I would love to use this while cleaning in dark places, such under beds and in closets!
it would make a great gift!
I would use these during electrical outages. Very handy and frees your hands for other activities.
This would be great for when we lose power.
This would work great when I have to go outside at night to check the animals on our farm.
Love this when checking the animals and feeding after dark.
I would be able to rummage around in our shed, which has no lighting, and fine whatever I’m looking for.
My husband would absolutely love this for morning jogging or even when he is in the woods.
I would love this for walking my dog after dark!
My husband has a disability and this would be so helpful to him as he adjust to normal life.
I would love this for sewing because I can never seem to get enough light for that!

I’d like this for working around the house, no need to have someone hold the flashlight
I would love this for taking the garbage out after dark.
When I retire I will volunteer to help a bat researcher as I have in the past. The lamp will be fantastic when wandering around in the dark! P.S. Advocate for bats, they eat their weight of insects everyday and function as pollinators! Hanging a bat box at an edge of your property could get this insect control for your BBQ’s.
This would be great for our nighttime bike rides.
I make miniatures and this would be PERFECT.
This would be awesome for our walks at night!
I would love this for working on crafts!
We are geocachers and like to do a lot of them at night just to avoid people who think we are crazy lol this would definitely come in handy for us!
I hike nightly anyway; could always use a backup headlamp!
