I just bought four of these Eveready rechargeable headlamps from Amazon plus one Streamlight . The Streamlight is brighter and has both spot and flood capabilities, but it cost more than the four Eveready's combined. The Eveready light is comfortable to wear and lights up everything within 30 or 40 feet. And they cost $17.00 for two. I have one in each car, one at home, and one here by my desk.

So... no more being kept in the dark?
now you will actually be able to see what your drinking........
I have the everready ones, low high white, and red. They are VERY good for chores in the dark(easily see 30 foot). Cheap, light, affordable, and rechargeable.
I too aslo have streamlights. The streamlights have an option for apot light, so they throw WAY further BUT they cost way more!
Sounds good, have to check them out. I always liked the Mag-Lite brand also.
I have a "cost effective" rechargeable "head" lamp that is very handy. I often finish up my mowing in the dark & it gets used as the z-turn doesn't have lights.
sounds good
if you like them and they work thats all that matters
I could not even guess the number of flash lights we have accumulated over the years . Maglites ,surefire, and many off brand several hanging just inside the pole barn door our cars and trucks have at least two in each one just about every room in our house has at least one and have several battery lantern style camping lights all in one place when needed if [powder goes out at least a dozen inexpensive head lamps that use the 3.7 volt rechargeable battery's and have about 20 spare battery's and a few charges for them their great for hands free use and get used 97% of the time around here . I would not trust my life to the cheap ones or depend on them in the middle of no where but general around here use for about 10.00 there great wish I had a couple like them as a kid out rounding up night crawlers LOL
flash lights are a sub attraction to me right up their with pocket knives I am always adding to the pile .
Same here. Always hard to pass up a new flashlight when I see one. My Eveready uses AAA batts and it has flood, spot, both plus red. The elastic headband died and I replaced it with leather straps plus a cord and cord lock to adjust tension.
I also have a few that clip to a ball cap brim. Very small and handy. One is rechargeable and has 10 and 100 lumen options. The one that gets carried the most is on my keychain. It's a Streamlight Nano. No bigger than a cigarette butt but surprisingly bright and it cost me $10 a few years ago. Likely twice that now but still worth it.
Hard to beat a Streamlight if you need light. Hard to beat a Maglight if you need a light and a club.
Headlamp in your vehicle? Novel idea that I haven't properly pursed. I keep a headlamp in my farm pickup but only flashlights in my work vehicle. I think I'll remedy this short coming tomorrow.
Been using streamlights for about the last 30 years or so on the fire dept . Never had a problem with them . Costly but pays for itself over

@Mobuck I keep a spare headlamp & taillight bulbs in all my vehicles.😉
I keep small cheap flashlights in my vehicles. I have given away LOTS of them over the years. People wreck or break down, then walk around the edges of a dark rd with dark clothes! At least these cheap flashlights let them be seen before they are also hit by a vehicle.
Tractor supply had em, like 16 for $18 and they all come with batteries. Also got some online for about the same $. Just small plastic leds with 3 aaa batteries.
My favorite rechargeable headlamp are the ones made by Nitecore.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Yea, nitecore and streamlight are some of the best. But the everready ones that the OP talk about are probably the best bang for the buck. That is for general use around the house and in the truck. They are SO cheap that you can have several spread around. They are VERY good lights for general use.
And as @austin20 posted, they are excellent for frog hunting and play time! 😁
