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.

That looks OK to me. I have several of these (I think they used to come
in packs of three)

For the amount we use them I just use disposables.

Batteries you mean, or the whole lamp?

Disposable batteries, it's worth having a well engineered lamp with good
straps and switches. Even in the winter I only get through a small
number of AAs and AAAs a month (and I use head torches almost every day
sorting out the equines in the evening).
