My all-around standard headlamp - Streamlight 61425 Enduro Pro C4 LED Headlamp

This unit is very well-thought out and easy to use, and I've come to appreciate it over cheaper headlamps, and over more expensive units with complex operation systems (I hate having to remember complex button codes to change settings...I'm looking at you, Black Diamond...). To be honest, most of the time I use a headlamp I don't need much light and prefer the low setting, but having the flexibility to choose between spot and flood is a huge advantage, depending on what I'm doing. And, on those rare occasions that I need a bright light, the Enduro's high setting can reach out pretty well. I also have a Streamlight ProTac HL headlamp that I use when I need powerful illumination, but the Enduro is the one I end up grabbing most of the time because it's bright *enough* and so much more comfortable to wear than a big chunk of metal like the ProTac. And I like that I can just reload it with standard batteries rather than having a built-in rechargeable cell. That's handy for extended wilderness use.

So yeah, for a basic hiking, camping, nighttime yard chore, glovebox headlamp, the Enduro Pro is the best I've yet found.
