We use PETZLs and have had really good luck with them. The
one I frequently use in the studio has lasted for 7 years now, in
spite of being dropped multiple times and having clay smeared
on it.
I think that having adjustability is good, so you might consider
PETZL - ACTIK CORE Headlamp. They have it at the Brazilian
river store, and probably at regular sporting goods stores, as well.
It has a couple of beam patterns which might be helpful, too.

Listers,<br>

After realizing that holding a small flashlight with my teeth was
probably a bad idea (and painful), I decided I needed a <i>good</i>
headband flashlight. I have a couple cheap ones, but they never seem
to put out enough light for working on cars in a dark shop or in the
grease pit. I see people using them on the tube, and they seem to
work, but the two I have--both powered by a couple AAAs--aren't eve=
n
as powerful as the cheap flashlights Harbor Freight gives away
(which work a couple times then quit). After checking the Brazilian
river/rainforest and a few review sites it seems they are all over
the map, from $10/ea to over $100! The lumen ratings seem a bit
suspicious too, with some Duracell brand Costco has on sale for a
3-pack rated at 550ea, and at least some claiming over 1,100 (for a
few seconds bursts, anyway). Can anyone recommend one that actually
lasts enough to find the bolt that fell down between the block and
wheel well, and stays in place on your head?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Bob<br>
