Just another note on the red light. It doesn't startle animals like a white light does. I use one regularly to check on the livestock at night. A creature doesn't have to adjust to darkness after being in red light. Try a red spotlight for predators!

Hitting the trail before first light, or after sunset, the red lens option is way better than white, and does not blowout your night vision.
Nothing more annoying than seeing people with their white flashlight or headlamp swinging wildly in the dark while hiking before first light.

After working under my Zero turn the other day, I got totally frustrated how narrow the beam on most headlamps are when working on vehicles. I have a few and they work great on the trail and in normal situations.
I looked at a bunch at Lowes and Home Depot, and found this Husky that has a wide beam that works great for working on vehicles. And it is pretty inexpensive at $14.97

The beam is almost twice as wide as the all the rest I own. Lights up a vehicle pretty well so I do not have to keep turning my head to get the beam where i want it.

That's cheap enough to have several stashed around.

I actually have a couple of these guys as they mount great on a hardhat and they are pretty awesome lights. They only cost $20 on Amazon and have a variable focus beam on them just like those Atomic flashlights on the infomercials. It focus' out to about 100yds pretty well and has that LED square pattern when it's turned all the way out. It is not built to be dropped though. They are made pretty light weight with threads from aluminum to plastic and that part seems to break if you drop it hard enough. But hey, it's $20...
