Anytime you need to use your hands but still need to see what you're doing. I can think of dozens of times I've needed a light to work on something with both hands in a badly lit area but didn't have someone to hold the flashlight.

That said, I'd probably want the battery pack somewhere else because I could see that being an issue hooking on things, especially in tight spots.

I totally see it but I feel like the same spaces where you need more light to see your hands and can't use a light are those where you can't fit extra stuff in with your fingers, if you get my thought.

Ya, that's why the battery pack placement isn't ideal in my opinion. I can't even count how many times I've busted a watch band because it hooked on something. Mind you I have bigger hands, maybe it works out better for those who don't.

And this would have been a better solution than a headlamp?

Wouldn't a headlight do the trick?
