I am kindasorta cheap, so for everyday use, which means reading in bed at night, or working under a cabinet or something, I have some Energizer headlamps that I got at Wallyworld for about $15, including two AAA batteries. Two white and one red led's, they work fine for semi-close up work (as in as far as you can reach, or a tad farther), and reading in bed with the red one while my wife is trying to sleep. I would not want to take a walk in the woods at oh dark thirty with one tho...
