I have one of those Tikka LED headlights. I use it getting in the stand in the dark early mornings and for tracking. It's light weight and does not take up much room in a pack. Operates on AAA batteries. Does not eat power fast at all. Fits easily on a baseball cap.

Down side is they are not a massive spotlight for long distance lighting. I bought it for the above reasons.

I have the same type as Ann. Works great.

I got the Tikka Zippa light for Christmas. It has the retractable head band. My buddy had one last while we were fishing for night time browns. I seen it and had to have one!!! I think they go for around $30. You can also get colored(red and yellow) lenses for them also. They are super light weight and super bright. Get one!!!!

Depends on what your using it for...I have the Tikka and it's great for stealthily getting to and from stand. More of a luminous glow than a beam. I also have one my wife got me from Meijer's for $12 that shoots a tight beam for nearly a half a mile. It's a little more bulky, and I haven't used it a full season yet, but I 've used it numerous times this year and haven't had to change batteries yet. I'll find out the name if you want it.

Cabelas a a nice one. Not sure of the model but its a Cabelas brand. It has a rechargeable battery pack. It has a high and low beam. Works great.

i like the tikka zippa you ll find a lot of uses other that going to your stand.works great when you go to put your stuff away.

I'm w/ Ann as well. I have the Tikka Petzl, very lightweight, long battery life and enough light to walk by. When the ground is snow covered it's like having airplane landing lights attached to your forehead. W/O snow it's adequate and angled so you don't have to walk w/ your head down.

I have the Petzl Zoom with the Halogen bulb. VERY bright and adjustable. The best part is you still have two free hands. It makes walking in the woods much easier.

I have the Petzl Duo head lamp and it is outstanding since it has a standard bulb and also a Halogen bulb, waterproof also. The 2 different bulbs are great. You can use the standard while rummaging around you pack or flip the switch to the Halogen bulb to light up a large area. Definetly a must have.

Sorry did not read the other post. But I found a light by rayovac that has three beams with led. A blue for low glare, infra red for crawler hunting and a regular spot lamp. I like it. http://www.rayovac.com/products/flashlights/outdoor_pldown2.shtml
