Hi,

I'm in the market for a good quality LED headlamp.

I'm here looking for suggestions as to good build quality, bright
'flood' illumination that renders colors correctly, long battery life
(preferably from 2, not three cells) and resistance to 'real world'
dirt/crud, water& mechanical shock.

Any and all suggestions, comments, warnings etc are more than welcome!

Suggest also posting to rec.bicycles.tech.

I don't know if it will start a religious war,
but one can always hope.

Were it me, I would follow this guy's lead
and make an elastic / velcro strap for the
ubiquitous and useful LED Maglite:
