backup headlamp

[vandeman17]

Any recommendations on a good but inexpensive backup headlamp? I would like to scoop another up so I can have one for around camp and one to stay in the pack. I have been known to forget things in the morning...

Shoot for a backup I just have one of those one's from Lowe's that comes with three batteries for like $10  Plenty bright.

@coop2424 knows that I don't always carry a backup though.  Good thing he does

I have been using the Lowes LED cheapees for years, I have two in my pack, they have performed just fine.

I have also been known to drop lamps out of pack when duck hunting so maybe a 2 or 3 pack is up my alley.

Not sure if there is one near you, but I just picked up a backup Coleman headlamp at BiMart for $13 this past week (the wife "borrowed" my regular backup).  It works well, and is a good deal for a backup headlamp. 

I've had the wires pull out of my primary headlamp in the woods before when snagged, and was not able to repair it.  So I always keep a small cheap backup just in case.

Great light.

Just bought a Black diamond storm at REI for $40 and it has 350 lumens and is super bright.

I have two princeton tec's that I carry in my pack.  One is a remix, not sure of the other one, but both work fine and were around 25$
