It's a good idea to make sure your lamp is bright enough in case you have to hike at night. Even if night hiking is not your thing, emergencies do happen--it happened to me!

The hands-free headlamp (as opposed to a hand-held flashlight) is also very useful at home when you have to do something in a dark corner, or the cupboard under the sink.
