My go-to headlamp for all activities. I prefer it's one-button operation, rechargeable battery (that also takes AAAs for backup), and ideal brightness settings.

I have a headlamp in my pack AT ALL TIMES (you never know when you might experience an emergency and need lighting). This headlamp folds up into a very small bundle and is light weight.

Dependable, lightish, rechargeable, quite bright. I have had this light or a predecessor for a decade or more.
