Rechargeable headlamp suggestions

[JMT]

Guys,

For the last two Christmases I've requested headlamps for working under the Jeep in the garage. I've received two types of headlights, both no-name. The originals from two years ago have a single LED in the center and one on each side. The battery life is pretty good on them, but they are now crapping out. The one's I received last year are the LED strip type. On full power they go through the battery in about 30 minutes. Worthless.

Can anyone suggest a rechargeable headlamp that has good lumens and good battery life?

I use a Klein. Was able to expense it for some nighttime wildlife surveys

I saw that after I started browsing and wondered if anyone had some real world experience with one. Thanks JJ. That's a good and reasonable $ option. Nice it doesn't have to go around your head.

I've had mine for about 2 years and use it frequently. My only two complaints is that I wish it had one level dimmer light, both for eye comfort and for battery life; and it the battery case can get warm and slightly uncomfortable on a hot day.

That was part of the JMT’s request. Are there adjustments that allow you to tighten it to allow horizontal work?

Which, as you know, is why I asked

This one because I don't particularly like head lamps.

My fire dept gave me a black diamond rechargeable headlamp that works ok. The thing I like about it is it plugs in to charge but it also takes rechargeable aaa batteries so I swap them out once they don't hold a charge anymore

I have 4 of the LED strip style headlamps and swap when the batteries die then recharge them all when I'm done throwing wrenches, swearing and cleaning up the blood

@Wildman turned me on to these a while back:

Can't beat the price and getting x2 per pack. Battery life has been outstanding and held up well over the past year.

Very comfortable. So much so that I go in to talk with my wife and forget I'm wearing it when talking to her...

These claim a 8-10 hour charge life.

Did not know that was a feature!! I saw the 'wifi-like' sign on the side but never even thought twice why it was there....
