Flashlight Enthusiast
I've decided I like USB rechargeable flashlights. Most of them provide at least one fairly decent output mode with a several hour run time so you shouldn't be caught with a dead flashlight. I realize if you were on an extended hike or something similar you probably still prefer a light you can change out the batteries.
With that in mind, I'm looking for a USB headlamp to replace/supplement my other headlamps. I would like to be able to use it for general purpose around the house use but also would like to run/walk with it. My avid runner friend had an older version BD Sprinter that she liked but when it finally died, she tried out this USB Foxelli headlamp.

I never heard of it. Assume it might be Chinese. She claims it's good value for the money but wonders if she should have ponied up for the latest version of the BD Sprinter instead. It seems to be though, $75 dollars for a single LED headlight with a 200 lumen max (I know should be sufficient) is a bit high unless this light is really the cat's melow.
I've also looked at the Niitecore NU30 which seems a lot of light for the money but Amazon reviewers claim the construction is lacking, in particularly the hinge.
Any thoughts on these three headlamps or other USB rechargeable ones to consider?
