mike033089 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Looking for a new LED headlamp. What do you all recommend? Don’t want to break the bank but want it to last several hours. Battery or charging? For hunting, crap around the barn before work and projects in the house. (Gotta run a bunch of recessed lights from the attic). My current one doesn’t last long some cheap Chinese one.
Hunter115522 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I really like my Fenix headlamp. Battery lasts a while. Recharges with a regular type C charger. https://www.fenixlighting.com/collections/headlamps/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Brand+-+Products+IS&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0aurjKjfigMVa0n_AR29kT2_EAAYASAAEgIvQ_D_BwE mike033089 and 6.5 Swede 1 1
hammer4reel Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Have a few styles of the fenix lights . i like this one the best , lasts a long time between charges . used it both for work , and hunting floodlight is great for 95% of the uses I did with it , great for trailing deer . spot is crazy intense when you do need it Hunter115522, electricstart, 6.5 Swede and 2 others 2 2 1
6.5 Swede Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Timely topic. My wife mentioned to her son in Florida that she wanted to buy me a new headlamp for Christmas. He said he had one still new in the box that he'd send me. Holy smokes! It's a Surefire Maximus! Adjusts up to 1,000 lumens! Lights up the whole backyard. He's a good son👍 mike033089 1

Can carry an extra rechargeable the same way .just little larger than 1 double a battery These fenix lights run a long time on a charge , used mine daily at work . wasnt very often I needed the extra battery you will also find most rechargeable are way more Lumens than normal battery lights due to high output batteries here’s a spot one I always carry as a spare . don’t like this model as much as the 65R Edited January 5 by hammer4reel mike033089 and electricstart 2
Livesintrees Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Peax headlamp. Can get white/green or white/red. It’s rechargeable and I just carry an extra battery should it ever die. Super bright.
mike033089 Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 I ordered the one @hammer4reel suggested. Thank you all. Always carry a small back up battery flashlight anyway. hammer4reel and 6.5 Swede 2
BucksnBass84 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Check out Black Diamond. I've got 2 I use the for everything. mike033089, nmc02 and JFC1 1 2
Bad64chevelle Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) For what it’s worth , I’ve been running these for years . They’re inexpensive, bright as hell , and Have a red light feature . I’m actually on my third one . I left one on a tree while duck hunting once , and I left one on the bed rail of my truck once . Neither were ever found . https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FLK7V3H?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Edited January 6 by Bad64chevelle mike033089 1
