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
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.


I used head torches extensively all my working life. I've had quite a
few, but the Ledlenser H7R.2 is the best:

A quick thanks. This thread prompted me to look-around and, after some
research, to buy a H7R.2. The Ledlenser website is very pretty but also
makes it very tedious to find info and compare products; I was slightly
concerned that the H7R.2 might not be usable with regular batteries if
charging was difficult (hiking, for example) but, having bought one, I
find that it is. An excellent device and much better than my older
(relative) cheapies. Thanks again.
(BTW, Zoro had the best price by far)
