Looking for a couple of head lamps, will be used for camping and power outages etc. Light and bright as possible. Would like to stay 35 bucks or less. Any suggestions ?

For that, a good LED will do nicely. They've finally gotten bright, tough, and they last forever. Been using them exclusively when backpacking, since they came out (mid to late 90s).

The Energizer ACU/Foliage one I got at Walmart like 8 years ago continues to do everything I need without issue. LED spot, flood, and red light. It was something $15.

I would really like to have a TIKA Reactive headlamp that senses distances and automatically adjusts the beam's brightness but they are $60-plus on Ebay.
