A decent headlamp. Flashlights are well and good, and sometimes necessary too. But if you've ever had to do something intricate with both hands in the complete dark, a good headlamp can be so much better in those situations

And you can get such small ones now! My spouse has one she keeps in her purse where the strap is just a thin wire that retracts into the unit. It's not even uncomfortable! Needless to say I'm jealous!

Is it the petzl zipka? Because if it isn't I'd love to know what it is. I have one, but they've apparently stopped making them, and it's so much better not having an elastic strap.
