...for my next purchase. I'm not even sure what all the possibilities are. Without some suggestions from those of you who already own a headlamp, I'll probably end up with one of the Streamlight models. Would mostly be used for working under the car or sink. Who owns what and why do you like/dislike yours? Thanks - Lou /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

All have good and bad points. Mostly the bad points are in the eyes of the user. Princeton Tec makes real nice ones, and there is Petzl, Black Diamond and others. I try to avoid ones you find in places like Walmart (usually cheap in quality), though there are exceptions.

The REI site has a new Petzl headlamp that they're touting as exlusively theirs. A combo LED and incan running off of 4 AAs.

Looks promising.
