I'm a self-described "flash-aholic" and have about 2 dozen flashlights around
the house, garage and car. Earlier this summer, I bought a $6 LED headlamp
from an importer (www.dealextreme.com, I think) and I've decided that it's
probably the most useful little light I have. It's not by brightest flashlight
nor is it the smallest but there's a lot to be said for a hands-free light that
doesn't need constant repositioning. Build quality isn't great but
at $6, everybody should have at least one in their toolbox.
