Camping in the great outdoors is an inexpensive way to bond with family and friends. I have been camping with my family for many years, and I always love the smell of the campfire, and the taste of camp food. If there’s one thing I never really enjoyed about camping, it would have to be the late night trips into the woods for bathroom breaks.

No More Fumbling Around in the Dark

I recently discovered a solution for this problem. The last time I visited the sporting goods store, I found a lighting device that fits directly onto the brim of a baseball cap. It might sound funny, but this simple lighting device really has made the difference in my camping experience.

Rather than fumbling around in the dark with a heavy flashlight, a brim light allows you to use your hands for balance. In addition, when you don’t have to hold a flashlight, you can use your hands to brush away low hanging branches you often find in the woods. You can even find brim lights with bulbs that point downward slightly to light the path ahead of you.

If you want to find a brim lighting device for your next camping trip, it’s important to look for one that is lightweight. Many of the models for sale today weigh just a few ounces. It’s also a good idea to check the package for life expectancy. The best brim lights last for up to 10,000 hours, which means you never have to worry about them burning out at the exactly the wrong moment.
