Head torch for me when I feel its needed. I prefer fluorescent lights for skim and general work as led can be too bright. I don't think one sort of light is good enough for everything. You do need a bright light sometimes, but after a while it can ge too much. Buy a mix of lights. Imo

Amazon £39
Good lights and the Velcro to strap the cord up is good.

Due to the amount of time wasted replacing bulbs?
