I've seen varies places sell some stuff but not all of it. REI and Brightguy seems to have the biggest variety but I know there's got to be a better place for better prices. I'm looking at buying 2 headlamps for everyday tasks to hiking and mountain biking. I'm thinking about getting a PT Corona and Petzl Zippka Plus but that Petzl Myo XP and Tikka XP are looking really good, but I want to get at least one headlamp for now. I need a good close to medium range LED based lamp with lots of runtime and flood. Thanks
The best place to buy headlamps?

Start with this review page to determine what's important in your selection:

The bottom of each detailed review also gives a source for the light. I narrowed the choices down to (for AA lights) the Princeton Tec Yukon HL, and (for cr123 lights) the HLX-712L. Each one offers outstanding output and excellent run times. The Yukon uses cheaper batteries but is heavier and has a battery pack on the back of your head (not so good for reading in bed). The HLX-712L has superior output but uses more costly batteries.

Cabela's is a good choice (I searched for "headlamps" & came up with 33 hits). Yeah, REI can be kind of pricey. Hope the searching goes well.

Sportsman's Warehouse has a lot of good lights if you have one in your area. They also have a pretty decent selction of spare bulbs.

There's also e-headlamps.com, a sister site of Pocketlights.com. They seem to have a good selection of headlamps too. And no, I'm not affiliated with either of them... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
