Headlamp suggestions

[porteiro]

I need a good quality headlamp.  It doesn't have to be fancy, and it doesn't have to be super bright.  It just has to be dependable.

What would you suggest for the best bang for my buck?

I love my Zebralight H30. Not very bright, but it makes a nice flood light which lights almost everything around you. It is small and light, you quickly forget that you wear it. And the flood light is really great. Once you used it you will never want to go back to another light. It is a little bit like daylight, as you don't have to move your head to have light on things.
This small light is also great for reading and other close-up things, as it is not so bright. And it won't blind people around you if you look at them.

I have a Petzl e+lite and a Petzl Myo RXP which I use, too, but I don't like them as much as the Zebralight.

Princeton tec EOS is my most used headlight. I've looked at Petzl, they don't even have a rubber seal to keep rain out.

I use a Petzl Myo XP. Small, bright, tough, rainproof and has a very useful flip-down diffuser as well as three lighting levels (and strobe).

What makes the zebralight better than the standard Petzl, Princeton, etc headlamp? 

[Turnstone]

The zebralight is regulated, it is very small and light, and it has this unique flood.

My Petzl light is huge and heavy compared to my Zebralight, and even if it is much powerful and has a diffusor lens I don't like it so much. I just use it on my helmet for climbing trees at night and rappeling into dark holes. I want to see where I go  For all other purposes I prefer the much darker Zebralight. If you never used one, I guess you can't understand. It is like walking at day. You can't see very far, but you see almost everything around you, not only a little spot in front of you. If you have to work in the dark that's useful, too. And if I need to see farther away I just take my Fenix
