Just a simple head lamp, probably adjustable, occasional use where hands
free and a bit of extra light needed.

I have a Draper LED (one or three lights) with a hand recharger but it
really isn't very bright and doesn't retain charge for long (3.6v 80mAh
NiMh batteries).

I'd be happy with 2 or 3 AAA and I'd then use Eneloop rechargeable.

So much stuff on the market - some looks sensible eg:

but some practical recommendations welcomed.

SWMBO loves Petzl for camping. IO bought one and am also very pleased for
work round the house and garden.

+3 (we all had one). ;-)

Petzl Zipka here, no straps to get caught up in everything else in
your pocket (recoiling headband), very light, 3 x AAA, well built,
good light ...

I've an oldish Petzl - does the job well, but I find the light dips
considerably after about 20 minutes using AAA rechargeables. I'm inclined to
try their rechargeable pack, but at £20 . . .
