My neck hurts after surgery and my headlight strap gives me a headache.
Can you adjust my headlight for me? Down...too far... up... a little more... wait... down again.
It took me years to master operating with a headlight and I still don't like it.
My colleague wears the light and when he moves his head, I am left in the dark.
