The tactical flashlights are the way to go. They are not that expensive. I live on a little less than 1 acre and it lights up the back fence line - I was amazed. As in John can see what to shoot at amazed. Sorry, we have coyotes in north Georgia now... and some other 2 legged critters. The key is to just get good batteries. Keep multiple charged and off you go.

words of warning
1. determine what model LED is (find it LED manufacturer catalogue), if not given don't buy the light.
2. find total lumen spec for that LED(s)
3. if that number below the total lumen spec for the flashlight, then are over-driving them which will mean a shorten life for the LED(s). Sure they may be bright but they will fail eventually. If light is turned on for continuous period of time it not might last before it's turned off.

I think you are really looking for speleology lamps.
Petzl has a good one: DUO S - Headlamps | Petzl Other[^]
price should be about ~250$
Scurion is the best out there
with duration from 5 to 150 hours based on luminosity.
Price ranges from ~500$ to 800$
Hope it can be of help!

It is too hot and I have a fan right behind me to keep me cool. I miss those gray skies and rains. My app says it is 27 C with feel as 28 C. I beg to differ. It feels way hotter.
I need to convince my 4 year old that he need to return from school in the car and not on his bike. He went school on bike with agreement that on return we come by car with the bike in the boot. I hope he remembers the agreement.

He probably will, just at the moment that he cycles back through the front door.

This means I to need to be on the bike behind him. He is just 4 and apparently it is too dangerous to let them be on their own. In mine's case, it is dangerous for others if he is let loose.

Know how you feel 40° here yesterday

Not sure where you are, but it's been in the low to mid 30s (90-95F) in Denver for the past two weeks. For us this is normal. Those folks in the UK dealing with the 40+ (100F+) temps are suffering and I feel for them. That's way outside their normal temperature range.

I am in Netherlands. We had high 30s yesterday and it was too much already. Even today I feel the wrath. I want my gray, gloomy, cold and wet days back.

May I continue your thought: dan!sh wrote: I want my gray, gloomy, cold and wet days back
... if I would have wanted bright sunny days I would have moved to Hawaii 
However, if you want, you can come to Montreal where extremes are the norm. Goes between -45 wind chill in winter, to +40 humidex in the summer.

Yep - if you're not used to the temperatures (hot or cold) then they're a problem. I'm hoping the entire northwestern part of Europe starts cooling down soon as it's been far too hot for yall.

Sorry to hear, we here (in Chicago) had similar heat in 1995, killed a lot of people. Hope things improve for you.

Just me. It gets painfully burning.

I`m asking because usually the heat comes in waves and surrounds you 360 degrees so it makes no difference if you`re standing or sitting.

It must have something to do with the chair material

I wouldn't complain too much.

A cold shower/soak does wonders. Saves on AC also.
