They do have a lot of stuff, don't they? Most of it is crap but there are
some good values. This looks like the headlamp I have:

They have some other LED lights that are worth looking at. I have
an older 1-mode Ultrafire C3 that I like a lot. It puts all my incandescent
lights to shame (including both my 6V lanterns). Bang for buck, it's hard
to beat. Looks like it's been updated to include a 5-mode switch:

Then there are the higher-end brands like Fenix, Surefire and Novatac but
most folks will have a hard time justifying their prices (and rightly so
given the performance that can be had for $20-$30).
Anybody who's still using an incandescent flashlight (or who hasn't looked
beyond the LED Maglites) owes it to themselves to take a look. It's a
night and day difference.
