I’ve had a lot over the years in all price point and by far best is the Duracell 3 pack from Costco for $15.  Simple, bright, run on aaa and have red and blue lights.

I have a lot of cheaper headlamps, the Coast from HD and Duracell from Costco (I think I have 6) I take two of the Duracell's with me to deer camp with extra AAA batteries. I have never had one fail.
I replace the batteries every year before deer camp.

Ironically the $120 Streamlight headlamp I received for Christmas one year failed the first time I used it when I needed it most.

I won't buy safety or emergency gear that recharge especially by USB.

I received one of those clip-on your hat 3 LED lights duhicky as a stocking stuffer awhile back. You probably have seen them in the in the checkout lanes at Lowes and HD. That cheap sucker just keep on ticking. I keep it in my pack as a backup. I used it hiking back to camp in the dark once and it was much more comfortable then wearing a headlamp for three hours.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

owned alot of headlamps over the years. I bought a Peax last year and will have this one for a longtime. Rechargeable and extra battery will last a long time. Built to take a beating

I've been using a Coast FL74 for several years that I bought from costco when they carried them. It has worked great and is still going strong.

I'd like to try one of these so I can turn night time into day time with the flip of a switch:

I bought and used the peax last season. Absolutely love it. Very bright, battery lasts a long time, and can lock so it won’t turn on in your pack. I picked up a second battery on Amazon

My favorite right now is a Fenix rechargeable for most situations.  If I'm going in deep, I carry a replaceable battery black diamond and extra batteries so I don't run out of light.
