The hat clip is a game changer for me. This one is in my pocket every day work or hunting.

I'd rather have more than one. EverReady head lamps work pretty well are light and cheap.

I’m a el cheapo guy , but also like a good handy tool that last so I bought a couple of GEAR LIGHT head lights, one for the daypack, truck , shaving kit,
2 Pak =$20
They take AAA batteries, so I don’t have to worry about recharging on week long trips with no power

I don’t recharge my batteries when I’m out hunting. The run times are so long a couple good batteries will last the whole trip. The last long trip I had 4 batteries and switched to batter #2 after 8 days just so I knew I had a fresh battery. I gave one of the unused batteries to a buddy using 123a batteries and converted him to 18650s after using the one I gave him.

This is from the zebra light web sight.

Light Output (runtimes)

• High: H1 1616 Lm (PID, 2.5 hrs) or H2 1010 Lm (PID, 2.9 hrs)/579 Lm (PID, 3.1 hrs)/305 Lm (5.3 hrs)
• Medium: M1 147 Lm (12.5 hrs) or M2 65 Lm (27.5 hrs)/26.4 Lm (2.7 days)/9.9 Lm (7.1 days)
• Low: L1 3.4 Lm (17.5 days) or L2 1.06 Lm (2 months)/0.3 Lm (3.8 months)/0.08 Lm (5.4 months)

I like to run on 65 or 25 lumens. It’s nice to know you have the high output lumens when you need them but all too often you don’t.

The zebra lights are more refined and programmable which is why I like them so much.

They have gone up in price a little. I bought the one listed above for $90 (now $100) and then another that only runs up to 1200 lumens on sale for $50.

Go to your local Lowe’s type home store and look at the COAST G32. Doesn’t cost a fortune, is metal, has a hat clip,is tail switch activated both full on and pressure hold and takes two AA batteries very durable I have been using one for the last three years and I am very hard on gear. The batteries last a good time using a quality brand, throw a few extra batteries in your hunting pack and your all set in case of an emergency. Also has a adjustable beam either spot or flood pattern.

Olight arkfeld ultra- love the slim design and powerful light as well as the clip that I use to attach it to my hat brim. Only downside is that it charges via a magnetic charger and not standard USB C

The new Pro Ultra version has a USB C port in addition to the magnetic charger.

I use a high power headlamp and a lower output one for tent use and backup.

In the truck I get everyone small AAA or AA flashlights for stocking stuffers every year, whatever Costco has. We have little cheap flashlights coming out of our ears and those that drain batteries on standby get chucked. In a humid state I’d get a better quality waterproof model, but I can’t ever remember a truck flashlight ever crapping out because of moisture. If more light is needed an 18v Makita that uses makita tool batteries will burn for more than 24 hours. One of the kids also has 18v Makita and one uses Milwakee. . . And a pile of cheap small lights from Christmas past.
