Best headlamp?
hughjorgan:
I’ve mainly been running a black diamond headlamp. It runs on 3 triple batteries. Has 400 lumen and a feature to lock the buttons so it doesn’t accidentally turn on in your pocket or pack. I’ve used the rechargeable black diamonds as well but usually end up just using triple A batteries in them also cause I forget to charge the battery.
If you want something in the 1000 lumens range peax, fenix or zebra all seem to get good reviews. I’d be curious to how warm those lights would be on a guys forehead. I know my flash lights I have with high lumen will get hot to the touch.

I've been running GearLight for 6 years with no issues.

A few years back I bought a rechargeable streamlight headlamp, it took me a number of hunts to trust it and its battery life. But it is legit, I always have at least one backup light/ headlamp with me but the battery on that light lasts more than a 10 day hunt using it for atleast a couple hours a day and a few of them up to 4 hrs a day. It will sit in my hunting tote all year and when I pull it out to charge it for the next year it still seems fully charged. In my mind I didn’t want to like it, worried it would go dead on me and it really does me know good because you can’t just put batteries in it, but I have been super impressed. Last year I hunted Idaho for over 20 days and it was still going.
Stein:
Brightest and longest lasting are mutually exclusive properties. Lately for backpacking and hunting I have been going toward less bright, lighter rechargeable ones in the $30 range. Currently I use Nitecore. I packed light cannons around and just never really use them.
The exception is for ducks when I want to get a good look at the decoy spread and you need light for that. I still go with the Amazon rechargeables and don't worry too much about quality as they seem to get lost or broken in a couple years one way or another and it's not the end of the world on a duck hunt as the sun will be up shortly.
