Rechargeable headlamp

[Billy74]

Mother in law is asking about xmas lists.  Ive been wanting a good rechargeable headlamp.  What are some good ones? Looking for the usual: run time, brightness, red light option etc.  id love one i dont have to remove batteries and can just plug in directly to USB plug.

Great headlamp. You do have to remove the battery to charge, but it’s the best one I have found.

Tagging along. Was just wondering about this. I've had a dozen different cheapo headlamps and I think it may be time to upgrade as well.

Noting it does not have red light option, but it has firefly modes, which are very low light modes.

That is what I would buy, I've owned a dozen headlamps and Petzl are hands down my favorites.

I did pick up a cheapie just to use to find the duck blind and it works good so far.  I don't have high hopes of handing it down, but it does make a bunch of light.

Been happy with my Fenix HM65R, but it doesn't have a red light.

I picked up a danforce recently and have been really happy with it. It checks all of your boxes except the red light.

I know I’m a little late for an Xmas gift list but my recommendation would be the Fenix H60LR. Max lumens up to 950 and has 6 different brightness modes to include a red light. I’m in the elevator trade and work in low levels of light most of the day. This is my go to for work and in the woods.

Why would people use the red light option?  I've had it on some of my lamps but just never used it.

It’s not visible over long distances, or you’re in a tent and don’t want to blow your buddies eyes out. I use it as much or more than the regular white light! It also saves your night vision.

I don't like using a light if at all possible so I like to toggle on the red light when I need it and off when I don't and then don't end up having to readjust my eyes constantly. If you run with your light on all the time I don't know if it's as critical.
