Head Lamp

What does everyone like? I was looking at the lightbar pro, I like the red light feature. Curious what everyone else uses/likes.

Those light bars look cool.

This is what I've been using lately.

MILWAUKEE Rechargeable 600 lm Max Brightness, 27 hr Max Run Time, 30 m Max Beam Distance

That milwaukee is trash after a while.  That is our supplied headlamp for work.  After a couple of recharges, the battery life goes to crap.  I used to have to have 3 fully charged, to make it a night.  I now use my coast headlamp at work, and it is much better.  Whatever you do, get one that recharges and takes cr2 batteries.

I have had this for a while. 
 I’ve always had good luck with Princeton Tec. My priority’s are light weight, long lasting battery life and durable

I have only used Fenix flashlights and headlamps for the last 15 years for both work and outdoors. Great company, products and customer support.

This is the one I currently have. https://www.fenixlighting.com/products/fenix-hm60r-rechargeable-headlamp

Second on the Coast. The model is the XPH30

It is 1000 lumens and has a 41 hour life. Ive never needed extra batteries because the charge last so long.

New customers usually get 10% off and they run a lot of specials.

I will also plug  Fenix, I have two older rechargeable ones that are pushing 5 years and a single charge still lasts a full weeks hunt. Mine have a lowlight red option but it looks like the similar new model uses a lens filter:

Petzl makes good headlamps too, I have one still kicking that runs 3 AAA batteries that is at least 15 years old.

I went with the Fenix HM60r…lots of good info out there on YouTube.

I asked the same question years ago. Several members suggested Coast head lamp and that's what I chose. It has served me well on my hunting trips. Light weight adjustable beam. I also have another one with the Red light.
