Just a simple head lamp, probably adjustable, occasional use where

I have a Draper LED (one or three lights) with a hand recharger but it

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:

For the amount we use them I just use disposables.
