Best headlamp?
2MANY:
Last Light is my choice.
I like light when I want light.
Cylvertip:
Black Diamond Icons. I have used them for years and have only had one fail due to battery corrosion eating the contacts.. Mine get worn a lot. Year round nuisance trapping and especially winter trapping means lots of night activities. No issues with rain.. Lots of light for.four hours and then dump new batts in. They still have juice, but easy to ensure I have lots of light. I run on full brightness 75% of the time. No rechargeables for me.
I like the green and red lights for not attracting as many bugs when I am not on the move, about to get in the rig, or don't need all that light.
For just around the house stuff I have used a Petzel TacTikka for years.

I've got a Peax and I like it just fine. The rechargeable nature makes me a bit nervous too but I always carry two headlights and my secondary is a Petzel E+ lite which runs on the CR2032 batteries. I like not having to carry extra batteries.
I got the Peax after seeing how bright they were, especially the redlight.
I havent put it through the ringer yet by any means but so far I like it.

Ive been using my Peax for the second year. So far it has been great. I did a backcountry hunt with it last year and never needed to recharge it even after 6 days. I do carry a small battery pack in case I needed to recharge it for some reason and I always carry a second headlamp no matter what.
