Not really necessary to spend that much on a headlamp. I have this one. It's bright as hell and has been going strong for 5+ years. It's $12. When it finally stops working I'll buy another one.

I have the same one and I agree with Uptopar. Super bright, rechargable, and overall solid headlamp for the price.

Get a Petzl.

You may not need something as durable or high quality, but he'll its nice to have a spendy handsfree light. Look at the Duo LED line.

I have a princeton tec, I think it's the remix pro. Very bright and VERY lightweight. I've been happy with it over the years.

^^^. Agreed. I like the one in your link, but I bought this one because I wanted an adjustable beam (can be adjusted from spotlight to floodlight).

Nothing that expensive. The two-pack ones they sell at Lowes or Home Depot are plenty good. My Dewalt one looked promising but the battery cap just came apart on me recently, not even one set of batteries through it. I like my two Petzl lights but both of the damn things have current leakage issues, can't keep good batteries in them or they will be dead the next time I need one and they don't seem to have particularly good burn times. I have plain Energizer ones in my trucks, house, and toolbox now. $25 for 4 of them.

Here ya go. Buy a good cap light from a family run business with incredible customer support

K-Light

I have a K light Beakon and it is an incredible light. I use it for coon hunting, boat driving, blood tracking, pretty much everything. Lights designed for coon hunting are generally very bright and durable.

THIS
Uptopar nailed it and I do the same. Take it from a guy that used to use 7.2 volt RC batteries and PR 13 bulbs to make a awesome headlight. So much easier with amazon.

Do any of them have a light strong enough to go frogging with?
