Looking for recommendations - headlamps

[J_T]

Based on your advice I ordered one of the Fenix HL60R's.
Arrived today. Looks & functions great.

Solid advice once again Buddy!

Many Thanks!

Good to know. Thanks. How well does the red beam function in the dark. Does it have some range to the beam? Thanks.

The red appears to be pretty good, but only tested in the basement as of yet. Let you know more once it gets dark here...

Cheers

In the pitch black the red beam (more like a glow) functioned, but isn't too bright.
I'd have liked it to be a little brighter myself.
The main beam is outstanding with it's various power settings. Certainly does light up the night!

Cheers,

Thanks. I continue my search. Spent some time reviewing the Fenix models yesterday. Appreciate the reply.

Are you talking about the white light being bright? What about the other colours? Red.

When I read the details of these LEDLenzer headlamps, I'm concerned they don't have sufficient hours of use on them between charging. I'm not always interested in reducing lumens (for the red) to save battery power. And, I don't always have my phone with me. Is that an issue? On an early season elk hunt (with generally lots of daylight), just in one day I would use the headlamp for 3 hours in the morning and another 3 or 4 in the evening. Could be more. Do I have to charge it when I come back to camp?

FYI, I rarely use the white light on a headlamp. Really looking for performance for the red lamp.

Thanks

Has anyone here found a good headlamp that has just the on and off feature without different brightness settings?

LEDLenser MH10 is an awesome light. Super bright and small and light and rechargable

Got 3 of these from T Bartell, best light I have ever owned.

One charge will last a week of hunting.

Rechargable 18650 Fenix HP25R has worked great for years for me. Flood, spot and red. I have dozens of 18650 batteries salvaged from laptops and cordless drills over the years (free). Carry a few extra or usb recharge, very versatile. I converted to 18650 years ago and never regretted it.
