Any long lasting bright headlamps?

[muddywolf]

How about a headband you can mount a high powered LED flashlight to.

That way you could go as bright as you want as long as it fits in the mount.

If the flashlight dies just mount up another.

I have seen ones where you van mount an angled or straight style into.

This Fenix model looks pretty sweet:

Unless you dont like the light mounted to the side.

You could probably turn it 90 degrees and mount an angled model toward the front.

Good Luck

I do like the fenix idea, cheaper too. Then I can use my 3 mode xml-u2 L2P

i just got a minimus vision a couple weeks ago, and its built very rugged.

Long lasting 'run-time wise' and bright is simple with a big battery pack. Although the hazard posed by accidentally crushing the pack in a fall and having a lithium fire on your belt is scary. Long lasting as in something you could pass on to your grand kids in 50years still working is another story. As far as I know under driving LED's so they never get very hot is the most reliable way to assure they will out last their rated life times. Big heat sinks help a lot but ambient air temp is a factor.

I think the best way to view out LED lights is as 'bust gear'. Expect them to wear out, die, and need replacement.
