Re: Stus-List Headlamps...
The LED LENSER SEO 7R which I evidently fail miserably at providing at providing a link to previously, uses this battery. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1046945-REG/led_lenser_880139_seo_li_ion_rechargeable_battery.html It is a drop in replacement for 3 AAAs and charges with the ubiquitous micro ubs. I recommend it for anyone who buys a headlamp powered by 3 AAAs.

Re: Stus-List Headlamps...
I bought a cheapo Energizer headlamp from Canadian Tire after reading several reviews. I'm happy with it. It's nice that the red light comes on first. The Black Diamonds overall didn't do well for reviewers and the prices are high.

Re: Stus-List Headlamps...
Had all kinds of headlamps for boating, backpacking etc. By far the most useful for on the boat at night standing watch and in camp at night is the Petzl Emergency headlamp. Super light, has red mode, long lasting batteries and NOT blindingly bright at night. I have had mine for going on 10yrs now and still works like a charm and I use it a ton. In fact, you will see all of the volvo guys are using them this year for their night watches, so you know they will hold up in the Southern Ocean, should you ever bring your CC there. http://www.rei.com/product/838548/petzl-elite-headlamp Now for working on the boat in dark corners we use more traditional lamps. We have two black diamond head lamps and I would not buy another. The switches on both are about to give out / finicky and the band doesn't stay tight etc. The best one I've owned before has been the Tikka XP2 from Petzl. Unfortunately it was lost, but I will be buying another when the Black Diamond gives out. As for Home Depot and Harbor Freight cheepos. Well you get what you pay for. You will likely be replacing it next season when it breaks. (I shop both HD and HF, but not for head lamps.)

Re: Stus-List Headlamps...
Use what climbers do. In Canada, MEC is a good place to buy them. One of the better brands is the Black Diamond. The department store ones are usually 1/3 price (or lower), but they are also at least 1/2 as good. If you by climbing gear lights, you may have problems with white/red.
