Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

recently bought a zebra h51 headband mounted flashlight for using while blowing snow on our 135'driveway. what are you guys using for after dark lights if the blower doesnt have one? if this doesn't work i'll be looking for other options.

I use one I picked up at Cabela's a few years back, it runs on a few AAA batteries.  It will work O-K for you to see around the snowblower, but loses its effect quickly beyond about 15 feet.  They work great and help hold my hat on in a wind-blizzard, so I will still wear it when running the new machine at night, even though I'm installing the accesory light Honda sells for the machine, plus a few improvements of my own.  I have a busy, make that well ploughed highway in front of my home, so I want to be seen as those usually two or three tandem ploughs come rumbling along and heap up the salt laden snow at the driveway apron.  I always add a few reflectors on 3M reflective to the machine too, in case it 'conks-out' , which was a common occurrence with the old friction wheel drive.  Now that I have a new Honda without the friction wheel, I should be less in need of such precautions.

4 Sevens has a lot of specialized flashlights for sale. But they really are the good ones. They sell the big stuff that will light up your world like the sun and smaller stuff you can clip to your hat.  http://www.4sevens.com/

Hope this helps. Candlepower Forums is a great place to hang out and chat up lights for all uses.  http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/forum.php
