I might add one of my favorite lighting devices which is sold at 
Brookstone.  It is a head lamp type device which unlike the 
"Headlights" brand they are comfortable and very durable.  Also 
Brookstone sells a little lamp with a flexible neck that is 
great for setting letoff.  Got that tip from Yamaha!
