Snow Peak have come out with a lapel torch. Not sure of its value to camping but still an alternative to the ubiquitous headlamps and it is good to see product development and new ideas being put into the marketplace.

According to Gizmag

The Lapel Torch packs up to 60 lumens of light output into a 1.4-ounce (39.7-gram) package. Sort of a multi-functional utility light for campers and outdoor users, it uses a magnetic clip that can be attached to your shirt, hat, tent pocket, etc. to offer a little more flexibility than a headlamp.

I saw airline cabin crew using something similar last year, actually quite practical

Petzl e-lite has a clip like that, been around for a long time... Not nearly as powerful though, 60 lumens is pretty bright for one led is'nt it.

Seems a nice idea but wouldn't it offer less control than a head torch, especially when you're hands are busy? Or is its purpose somewhat different?
