I'm seeing LED headlamps from $5.99 to $120. I want to use for hands free dark time repairs and/or digging out of a night time stuck. What works well... good bang for the buck?

Like you said you can spend what you want on these. The Princeton tec ones seem well build, are made in usa and are around $30-$40

Hahaha no was not Klim..lol.. Start to get pricey for caves & mining rechargeable types waterproof ect. Lumin specs all over the place affects price too. I can see going cheap as might not get used then again could be handy for many dark time uses. Looking for peeps that actually use headlamps because they know what they need & why. I get how ez uses his on ballcap and I may not need more than than that but willing to spend more if I can use it for more stuff.

I like my Princeton tech one. I use it while working on vehicles, deer hunting,camping, and it always goes in my bag on my sled. We own a couple and for the 25-30 dollars they cost it's well worth it. I'm going on almost ten years with my led one.

Used mine (princeton) quite a bit on a trip to Ontario last year. Nice to use when dealing with a belt issue. Also used it looking at maps, and then in trailer and in warming huts as more of a flood light.

Saw Costco had a cheap one too I was thinking about buying to leave in trailer

I have the kind that u strap on your head just never use it after I got the ball cap one. for 1 reason ease of finding it prob main reason lol it is that neon yellow color .surprising how long batter has lasted going on yr 4 dont use a lot mostly in winter heck it is stored in my sled trailer on a hook next to door. that may be the other season I can find it. the other is in the cabinet of abandon electronics along with the thousands of bucks in abandoned toys
