What flash light/headlamps?

[Fishingkid]

Anyone have a reasonably priced flashlight recommendations? Looking for light weight preferably aaa or aa batteries something for the pack on backpacking deer hunts. How about head lamps? I have been using some super cheap head lamps just curious what everyone else is using these dats with so many on the market.

I have petzel head lamps and as far as flash lights I get whatever looks decent and at a reasonable price

I carry two headlamps w fresh aaa batteris in them. One is an inexpensive energizer headlamp. I swear it works just fine and battery life is long. Brighter lamps just crush batteries, imo. Lots on the market, depends on what $ you have to spend

I also carry two lights. A Petzl for around camp and an Ay Up for when I need powerful rechargeable lights. Run time on low ~400 lumens is 8 hours. I also use the Ay Up system as a helmet light for night riding a mtn bike.

For backpacking, my primary light is a Black Diamond Spot 325 headlamp. It's around $39 and takes 3 AAA batteries. Bright enough for my needs and also has other modes to meet your requirements

I also carry a cheap penlight and headlamp that I bought from Costco but they're really only for backup.

I love the Coast headlamps I bought at Costco. 2 pack was about $24. 3AAA, 3 brightness settings, zoom-able, includes additional little red and green beams

I have an older Zebra headlamp which has been stellar, it's about 7yrs old. It has several brightness modes, is WP and light.

Other great headlamps are offered by Fenix and Surefire.

For flashlights, I like the small stream lights. Very bright and weigh almost nothing.

I would advise headlamps. They are relatively cheap, batteries last a long time, and your hands are always free. Its also nice having a red light option for hiking into country with game.
