Soft light water bottle
Problem:
This is a very problem and solution
while out camping. When you have
the head torch on you get directional
light. That's great, that's what it was
made for at the end of the day. You
can have another lmap type kit
hanging from your tent roof if you
have the strap and the tent is high
enough. There can be a bit of an issue
when getting into your tent at night
and that direction beam hits a fellow
camper right in the face or when in
your tent you have darkspots and can
only tend to focus on the thing in
view.
I have on occassion found issues with
lamps being rather bright when taking
younger members of the family that
would like a little 'comfort' light but a
stark light keeps them awake. None of
these are serious issues, unless your
the one getting blinded by the head
torch of course in a conversation!
Solution:
This rather cool like technique mixes your head torch and your clear water bottle. I would say
that having a large water bottle is always a good idea. If you're going to a designated campsite
then take the bottle empty, if you're on the road then fill as requirred. I tend to top the bottle up
at service stations or fast food toilets but there are amble places to score some free water
anyway.
As you can see from the picture above this rater cool idea of strapping the torch to the full water
boittle will give you a softer but perfectly usable (depending on your torch lumens) lamp. Easy
to move around and very stable, rather than a swinging light.
I've got an idea! What do you need?
Then we want to hear about it, simple fix or life
