I bought and own a different brand of the same type of neck lights. Let me tell you, it first sounded like a good idea to me but, they aren't nearly as handy or useful as I thought they'd be. I think head mounted lights are 100x better. Head mounted lamps naturally point in the direction your looking whether its left right, up, down or literally anywhere you turn your head to look, which is exactly where you want the light to be. These on the other hand you have to turn your entire body to re-direct the lights left to right. This might not sound terrible on paper but once you've used both, you'll realize why these haven't gotten more popular than they are and why headlamps are. Don't waste your money on these. You'll end up looking like Frankenstein, keeping your head straight while turning your entire body to redirect the light to look left and right and forget about looking up without manually adjusting the light for just the moment you might need to look up, just to re-adjust to go back to normal. Trust me. These are not the business.

I have a kobalt similar to this one. You can wear them on your head with the lights sitting on your ears' top, like how you wear glass but on the back of your head. I find doing so help keeping the light on the same level as your eyes.

What's the point of buying neck lights when your gonna end up using them like head mounted lights? They also don't sound stable if your going to be somewhat active. Could you jog or run wearing them on top of your ears?

Lol should wear my headlamp around me neck Smilie

..

But I find that working in my pc with a headlamp it doesn't point the light under neath stuff with a ridge. Always wondered if a neck light like this would help or those gloves with lights at the fingertips lol.

Completely agree with you with one exception. I first bought a headlamp for camping and backpacking, but when I got back home I realized how crazy handy they are so you are 100% correct, they are definitely much more useful if you just need hands free illumination.

However, I enjoy reading at night or early morning and lamps, book lights that clip, and whatnot always cast some level of shadow on the pages and you constantly have to adjust to get your page lit just perfectly, enter the neck light. It looks ridiculous, but if you are just relaxing in bed or on the couch getting in a few pages or chapters before bed it works amazingly well. Perfectly lights up your pages without having to resort to full room lighting. So if you are a morning or nighttime reader these work great. Highly recommend getting one with an amber color setting option, only some of them do. I've purchased some for my reader friends and they all enjoy using them. Anyway, this neck light is a bit gimmicky, but for the right use case neck lights are pretty useful.
