Those are better than no light, but two LED's don't produce much light
and 3 AAA's are kinda heavy and bulky for a head-mounted light.
Best feature is low price.

The unit I linked provides MONDO light, both in its white and red
modes.

MONDO apparently converts to 5.6 candela.

A 1-watt Luxeon light with a beamwidth of 30 degrees included angle
produces about 210 candela at rated power -- about 37.5 MONDO. It
would produce 1 MONDO running at about 2.5% of rated output.





Mondo means I could back up a flat bed truck and trailer with a
backhoe on it 1/2 mile out of a dead end canyon on a moonless night
after the lighting system failed.

Shrug. Thats good enough for me.
