ThorFire’s Cap Light – Item of the Day
Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.
Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the ThorFire Cap Light. I love these types of lights, I have been using them, especially for night time fishing for years. The amount of battery life you get from them is impressive, yet at times the brightness is lacking. This one is the brightest one I have found that is still compact and not bulky when worn on your cap or hat brim.
I have some typical strap on head lamps in my vehicles but I honestly prefer these stye of light for must uses. First because I am a hat wearer by my very nature. You seldom see me without one of my Henchels or various caps on my head. Those strap on lights are more feature rich but they just don’t work well with a hat. This means I can’t wear it, likely will set it down somewhere and loose it.
This light is also affordable and it does come with the required CR2032 batteries. The cost is about 11 dollars for one or 19 dollars for a 2 pack, so it makes sense to get two, two is one and one is none you know.
Some of the uses that these things provide include, light when dealing with vehicle trouble on the side of the road in the dark. Simple tasks on the homestead that require both hands in the dark. Climbing into that hunting blind in the early morning hours and more.
But again the place I use mine most is when fishing. Have you ever tried to tie a fish hook on in pitch dark, it isn’t fun, and it isn’t really much fun with a flashlight in your teeth either. When I was a kid I used to fish a pond about a mile from home. Sometimes I had no flashlight and would have to go about 50 yards from the pond to a streetlight to tie on a new hook if I fished after dark.
After I did that a few times I made sure a flashlight was always with my gear. I guess it was about 15 years ago that I first found one of these clip on style lights and remembered those old days of fishing stock ponds and old stripping holes in the dark. Since finding them I have never not had one when fishing, they are just too useful.
Of all I have tried the ThorFire Cap Hat Light is the brightest and most useful. So give it a try and they also make great stocking stuffers this time of year.

This would be useful for work. Love it
Can this light be attached to a hard hat?
Well I guess you can attach it to anything the key is how functional would it be, it is designed to go on a ball cap mainly so I guess it comes down to how your hard hat is shaped. I don’t think it would work well on typical style.
Sounds cool.
FYI, if your grandkids visit (and are of the age) be incredibly careful with lithium coin cells. Some kids like swallowing crap and if swallowed, coin cells will literally corrode their esophagus (voltage creates NaOH in situ). Often you don’t know the kid swallowed anything and it presents as a flu. Xray looks like a penny so doctors often “let it pass” but it causes severe damage.
Often the culprit is remote controls or those led candles. Kids play with them and get at the batteries.
Thanks Jack, I got two. They seem to work well. I had been using your typical headlamp at night to frequently carry ashes into the woods to dump, and I need to be hands free to do that and not stumble in the dark. My headlamp failed so I got these two. The light spreads wider and not as far as I’m used to (my headlamp had a narrow beam) but plenty sufficient for my needs.
