+1 on the petzl tikka xp. It's a little bulky to carry on person so it goes in the kit bag. Much lighter and brighter than my old mini maglite and the bulb doesn't burn out at inconvenient times. Also, the diffusor makes the best widespread beam of any of the headlights i tried, it's very useful when being blinded by a bright spot is not what you need, like when working under a car dash or sink.
