Title: working in the dark
Post by: Martin Lane on October 16, 2014, 07:43:59 pm
Hi
A lot of our work is commercial and has to be cleaned early in the mornings, over the years we have used head torches, cable tied  a torch to the top of the pole head which l  have to admit does work well.
How do you manage ?

We work in the dark every morning now until spring time. Never thought of using head torches and tbh don't really think they would help.

Mostly commercial, same as you, a decent headtorch is enough. Itbhas worked well for me over the last few dark winter mornings!

As long as I can make out where the frames are then that's enough light, most of my earlies are done monthly so a couple of swipes with the brush and I know they will be clean! Never had any complaints anyway!  :)
