Hands FREE is the way to be Amigo!

Below is just an example of a headlamp that I use both for night flight (red light available) and pre-flight and stays in my flight bag. I don't fly a lot at night, but this is just the way I roll when it comes to flash lights.

You might look into a finger-mounted light. My instruments are mostly lighted and I have a mounted light on the starboard area of the cockpit that Vans sells (see picture below) but have found a finger-mounted light to be VERY handy! There are several sources including nitevis.com, flightlite.com (available through My Pilots Store), cejayengeneering.com to name a few. I really like mine in that it points ANYWHERE my finger points. Simple but effective. Red LED light. I keep it strapped to a crossmember under the panel when not in use. Photos:

Yes: a $250 answer. The one Van sells is quite usable and is $60. The other replies suggested less expensive but viable alternatives.

If you can find the 28 volt lights that you like for sale, a small step up converter can be made or bought for under 50 bucks to drive the 28 volt lights off of 12 volts systems.

Or just install 12 V bulbs
