I've read through a lot of these posts and they only dive into deeper detail than I really need.
My simple requirement(s) is that I'm looking for a headlamp that will run CR123 batteries.
Most of my flashlights use CR123s and this will most likely live in my glovebox in Michigan winters.
The secondary demands:
I don't really want to spend a fortune, somewhere $40 – $80 if possible. Single or double batteries, prefer single CR123.
Doesn't need to be bright, 80-200 lumens max is fine. Should have a low setting, most seem to.
I don't really care if it's cool, warm whatever. Not sure if I would like flood or not, never had a headlamp to compare.
I might need to change a tire, car battery, read a map or walk a trail with it. All purpose.

So far I'm leaning toward the SPARK SG3-CW or Princeton Tec Remix Pro, unless someone has a better idea.

Thanks,
Brian

The Zebralight H32 fits your specs, and I am going to buy one as soon as they are available.

They were *supposed* to come out in 11/2013....

Unfortunately, it looks like they are delayed until the new year. But when they come out, I think that will be your best bet.

Oh--and for 3/4 of your purposes, I can highly recommend the new Foursevens Atom AL with the 360 headband kit. Ideal for reading a map, or working on a car battery or tire-change. But I cannot recommend it for a trail-walk. It's a pure flood beam, really beautiful and useful light for everything within 5 meters, but no throw beyond that.
