    Where I can get one of them old fashioned carbide miner's lights like we
    used brad to peak of our baseball caps with the propellers on top to use
    fer shining 'coons in tree tops after dawgs run em up when I was kid?

    I need one to go on my U. T. Orange hat for to be able to see my way to Walmart and back until I can figure out way to keep a solar powered one charged during the cool of the night.

    BTW, this is a *troll* of the non-descript, not covered, variety so any
    reader may characterize it as they like:

    Usage

    Application of the term troll is subjective. Some readers may
    characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as
    a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial. Like
    any pejorative term, it can be used as an ad hominem attack, suggesting a negative motivation.

    Regardless of the circumstances, controversial posts may attract a particularly strong response from those unfamiliar with the robust
    dialogue found in some online, rather than physical, communities.
    Experienced participants in online forums know that the most effective
    way to discourage a troll is usually to ignore it, because responding
    tends to encourage trolls to continue disruptive posts ΓÇö hence the often- seen warning: "Please do not feed the trolls".

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29

    And I not hungry at present so you may disregard or ignore it if you
    don't know anything about 'coon hunting or carbide lights. ;-)

    Should I go Walmart now in the pitch black of the night or wait for
    twilight and risk it already being too hot for me to go out? I needs a
    pound of Hot and Spicy Jimmy Dean Sausage for to fix my breakfast. I'm
    tired of Jack Link, peppered beef jerky run through the food chopper with butter milk over it.

    Regardless what the Promises say, some days I jest don't Intuitively know
    how to handle situations that even though I never faced when I was
    drinking sometime crop up today and are sort of baffling and I knows I
    can always rely on ARAA to provide a solution to my dilemmas.

    Nah, I looking for a carbide coal miners lamp like we used to cut tomato
    can up and make bracket to brad to front of cap and mount the light on
    when I was a kid. They pretty expensive now, but we used to get em in
    town at Jenning's Hardware for couple hard earned dollars, like I mean
    selling couple of prime stretched and dried coon skins to the fur peddler
    when he come by Lauderdale's Store once a month. ;-)

    http://tinyurl.com/3j8o9mw

    Put 'bout table spoon of crumbled up carbide in em and lil water 'nd they throw hell of a spot light most all night long. My grand dad and grand ma
    used to live in house that was lit completely with carbide gas from a
    big, same principle, carbide gas generator out in back yard shed.

    My daughter-in-law elect gave me for a birthday or Christmas present
    some kind of a handyman's light on a harness that you place on your head
    -- works quite nice for seeing under sinks etc. I have no idea where
    she found it or who makes it but I'll bet it could be found at Home
    Depot or Lowe's or someplace like that. Nice bright LED lights, with a couple of different light levels, and it can be adjusted to point at
    different vertical angles.

    You can get those almost everywhere these days. Walmart is one place.
    Those work great for doing anything outdoors at night. Keeps your
    hands free and still provide the light.

    I notice the local Amish use them all the time too....

    If you're dead set on carbide, I can't help you. But if you're
    open to other options, have a look at this:

    http://petzl.com/en/outdoor/tikka-zipka-series/tikka

    I picked one up a couple of years ago for a backpacking trip, and
    have found it very handy for a number of other things--working in
    the crawlspace, for example.

    Don't think it's all that pricey, either--e.g.,

    That's very much like what I was talking about -- except mine has what
    looks like a more rugged light and the headband also has some straps
    that cross over your head so I believe it's a much sturdier (but not uncomfortable) fit.

    I'm sorry, I apologize to all of you, seriously trying to be of help,
    folk who have given me such excellent advice as to where to find a high quality, modern day, electronic, clip on light that would provide
    sufficient light to illuminate an area in front of my feet to allow me
    to watch where I put my toes so's I don't bust my nose when I'm out in
    the dark. I've got a couple similar to those mentioned.
