Looking for a new headlamp for work. Most of us on the job get buy purchasing entry headlamps and just replace them as they break for various reasons (Water, smashed, dropped, burned, strap stretches out, etc)
Energizer is the most common, then some coast models, rayovac, maybe a single pelican and streamlight.
I almost purchased a pixa 2 the other day, but passed due to its size and lack of homework on that model to know its pros and cons.
Must have options
1. My first request is a headlamp that runs on standard AA or AAA batteries since they are free on the job always.
2. Warm to 5K color temp for correctly identifying color of wires.
3. Easy to operate, just a simple twist on/off control or simple push button
4. Basically need close up and distance of 30-50'
5. High and low modes, flood and spot is ok, but dont want 113 modes with red green and blue colors.
6. Price range tops out for me at $50
Any help is greatly appreciated, there are so many offerings out there now it makes my head spin when I started to compare models. Having two kids recently cuts down on free time to play on the forums.
