I've had a version of this one since 2017; it's bright enough for me to run
trails in complete darkness. It has its own rechargeable battery pack and
is very bright (there's a higher priced model that is 5000 lumens).

After realizing that holding a small flashlight with my teeth was
probably a bad idea (and painful), I decided I needed a <i>good</i>
headband flashlight. I have a couple cheap ones, but they never seem
to put out enough light for working on cars in a dark shop or in the
grease pit. I see people using them on the tube, and they seem to
work, but the two I have--both powered by a couple AAAs--aren't eve=
n
as powerful as the cheap flashlights Harbor Freight gives away
(which work a couple times then quit). After checking the Brazilian
river/rainforest and a few review sites it seems they are all over
the map, from $10/ea to over $100! The lumen ratings seem a bit
suspicious too, with some Duracell brand Costco has on sale for a
3-pack rated at 550ea, and at least some claiming over 1,100 (for a
few seconds bursts, anyway). Can anyone recommend one that actually
lasts enough to find the bolt that fell down between the block and
wheel well, and stays in place on your head?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Bob<br>
