I have tried over a dozen different lights, from the bad old days of incandescent lights that give a patchy yellow glow to new regulated LED lights. My two favorite lights are both Petzl as they have an effective diffuser.
* '''Petzl MYO RXP''' is the best head light available for a reasonable cost.

* '''Petzl Tikka 2''' is a cheaper head light that works reasonably well, though there are many others that also work quite well if cost is the primary concern. I've used Princeton and Black Diamond lights in this price range and all are similar in quality.
* '''Petzl e+LITE''' is a tiny head light that is useful for emergency use. I would not recommend using this as a primary light, but it's small enough that it works well in a drop bag or a pocket if there is a risk of being out after dark.
