Head lamp
and keep your hat on. The bill of the hat will block the glare.

Freeplay “Indigo” LED lantern.
Recharges from AC, and also has a separate flashlight LED plus a generator crank in case the batteries run down. The 7 lamp LEDs have a brightness control. Has been adequate for reading. The LED light is a bit “cold” but not glaring.
Energizer
