Just had the power off for 3 days last week, I was sort of camping.So, I'm going on a camping trip, and I plan to bring along some
reading material for
the time between sundown and the time when I get bored watching the
stars and
listening to the wildlife until I'm tired enough to sleep.
So, I need some kind of lamp that's handier to operate than an
ordinary flashlight,
but will illuminate a page of print brightly enough to read
"normally." And I specifically
want a white LED (or LEDs), for battery life - that's another problem
with an incandescent
flashlight, even with fresh alkalines, notwithstanding that stupid
spot - I need more of
a flood, so I don't have to keep pointing the light at the passage I'm
reading.
I've heard tell of LED bike headlights and the like; what I want is
some wide-angle
"flood" light, that could illuminate an ordinary 8 1/2 x 11 page from
about two feet
(2/3M) away, while I'm at a normal reading distance (18-24" (1/2 -
2/3M)), brightly
enough that I don't get eyestrain.
Does anyone have any recommendations, or need more info?
Thanks,
Rich
