I am also a fan of the Petzl Zipka+ headlamp. I have one in the Petzl pouch wrapped around the shoulder strap of my PSK/BOB/CamelBack. You can put the cord around the pouch flaps and mount the light on the pouch sideways. When it is hot out and you are wearing a hat is can be a bother to keep positioning the light back on your hat after you take it off to wipe off sweat. I love the different intensity levels and the blink mode. I have been on a night hike with it. It has good spread for seeing the trail around you and enough reach to see as far in front of you as you normally look. We got separated from our group and I had to use my SureFire to look down the trails at an intersection to see which way we to go.

My general purpose/EDC light is my CMG Infinity Ultra (AA LED). It has a clip. I can clip it to the bill of my hat and use it as a headlamp. It is an AA LED so it is not anything like a SureFire. One AA battery will last at least 25 hours, at full brightness, with many more hours of diminished light.

I also have a Photon I red and a Photon I ultra violet light on my key ring. The ultra violet is fun to use when looking for scorpions. The red is good for a quick look at night so you don’t lose your night vision.

I admit it: I carry 4 lights on me for EDC and the Zipka+ and a Photon III white are in my PSK. I keep the Photon III white in my first-aid kit. Plus my PSK has an extra SureFire bulb and batteries for all the lights.
