I was once running the second shift on a logging truck with a self loader. There is no good place for lights when working with logs, because sooner or later they will get hit and knocked off. They also point to one specific area, and even if they are on the boom so they pivot with the loader, they are often not where they need to be. With a self loader, the seat is at the top of the thing, so you sit up and look over the top of everything. I used the lights which were on the loader when I started using it, but also put a place to plug in more. Then I mounted a pair of tractor work lights on the sides of a hard hat (one on each side). I was told it looked like Mickey Mouse ears, but the light was where I was looking from, so it was never in the shadows for me. I did learn that you don't move your head as much as you think when you look from one place to another. I had to learn to leave my eyes looking in the same spot relative to my head and move my head instead. I chose to use two lights mounted low on the hat so it would not fall off when I looked up or down. One in the middle of the top would have been top heavy. The guy I was working with did laugh at me. I would do it again in the same situation.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
