It adapts easily to all lighting requirements, the 3 light settings are good for multiple situations and the red light is a nice touch to avoid blinding others. The head can be adjusted up and down. This is done to direct the light where you need it most. Comes with the Core USB-rechargeable battery. Simply my favorite choice, massively recommended.

Very lightweight with a small form factor that doesn’t get in my way, which I like. I like how I can swivel the light to put the beam directly at what I’m working on. All in all, this is a really good light for the money, take special care not to drop it and carefully open the battery door. If I break the third, I still order another, that’s how much I’ve become attached to this light.

That’s my favorite one Petzl is one of the most reliable brands, I have been using it for 3 years now and still loving it.

And this one gives you 3 brightness settings for the white light and 2 settings for the red light.

It has three interchangeable lens colors and four lighting modes (one is red flash for emergency mode). It’s also very durable which sucks power from 3AAA batteries so it will be a great buy.

This headlamp packs awesome lighting power with four different modes to choose from. It is powered by three high-quality power batteries, but can also be charged with a USB cable. It’s also useful as a power bank for when you need to charge your devices. Importantly, it is heatproof and waterproof, making it just about the perfect headlamp for any type of outdoor activity.

The Nightstick FORTEM Helmet-Mounted Dual Light comes with two lamps and different lighting levels: one is a 250 lumens flashlight and a 115 lumens floodlight.

It’s equipped with a green, rear-facing LED so that others can quickly identify and follow you.
