Just saw the Jetbeam HC20 headlamp. 800 lumens, XM-L2 T6, Inexpensive, less than $35 - and even comes with a 18650! Over-temperature limiting, and can insert battery in either direction.
Drawbacks to me:
- Apparently no CR123 support, only mentions 18650 and nothing about voltage range.
- No low - "low" is 70 lumens.
- The squarish LED part looks like it extends out quite a bit, looks like it might bounce or rotate down in use.
- Has an electronic switch, wondering what parasitic drain is.
