Headlamp

[Minge]

Hey All,
Looking for a headlamp for walking in and out of night time thermal calling. Wanting something that is rechargeable, can switch between white and red light, can dim it down, and doesn’t have a stupid strobe light mode on it. Distance beam doesn't matter cause it’s mostly just for walking in and out of stands. Thanks guys been reading threads and just can’t find what I’m looking for.

Look into fenix or nitecore

I like the black diamond headlamps. They have a direct rechargeable and also have one that has a rechargeable battery pack or runs off AAA.

Best Cheap Headlamp

Any suggestions on an inexpensive headlamp that is good? Is rechargeable better? I want to buy three or four of them and stash them in various places, so I don't need to play the pack juggling game. Thanks!

Red head lamp

What are you guys using for Red head lamps? I've got a super powerful regular white light one but have been curious about a nice small red lamp for walking to my areas before it's light. Any suggestions? Are they worth using to not spook animals? I'll be walking through pretty open old burned...

Favorite/best headlamp?

I need to pick up a new one. I've run through several "cheap" ones over the last 10 years that I've picked up out of convenience but I've never put the effort into looking for a good one....not sure why. There's a ton of them on the market and I'm getting lost in the search. I like light...

Red headlamp with throw

I’m looking for a red headlamp with good throw for walking into stands in the morning. I’m using a Black Diamond Spot 350 currently and am happy with the white light but the red barely lights up my shoes. Walking in to my stand last weekend I spooked up a bedded deer with the white light. I...

I got a couple of the Sofirn’s for the exact same thing. I don’t use a light every stand depending on how bright it is. That being said I’ve never had the battery run out.

I’ve got an older black diamond storm 250 and it’s been my go to for years. I can’t tell you how many overnight pack outs it’s been with me on. It’s not the brightest light in the world but it keeps working for me. It stays in my pack as my trusty backup.

I think my first one was a cosmo 300. I've had it for years. About the same for me, just good ol trusty keeps chugging along.
I've bought several different models since and have them stashed in just about every bag and car.
I'll have to take a look into those two you recommended to the op.

Peax headlamp - reallly bright and usb rechargeable

 

[Ramblr]

I have been happy with the Streamlight Sidewinder Compact. I covers all your criteria except rechargeable, but I suppose you could use a rechargeable Surefire CR123.

Fenix HM50R.
easily fits in a pocket, comfortable, USB-C rechargeable but can also use CR123 batteries, has red and white lights and enough brightness settings to see plenty no matter the terrain

I have a rechargable Fenix and really like it.
Its BRIGHT on max power.
