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 . . .
I was gifted a *beanie* head lamp for Christmas. Rechargeable led
choice of red/white/flashing!
Handy if I ever go cycling after dark as the Beanie doesn't care
which way it is worn.
Strong reservations about head mounted lights as they blind whoever
you look at:-(

You seem to have missed the irony in your post. "Handy if I ever go
cycling after dark as the Beanie doesn't care which way it is worn."
"Strong reservations about head mounted lights as they blind whoever

Not only do they dazzle but the light pattern confuses other road
users, to the detriment of everyone's safety. Grrr!

Quite! I was envisaging wearing it backwards on red. While I do have a
bike and can still ride, at 77+3 days it is unlikely to happen.
