If you want a more powerful headlamp than a Tikka, I would recommend the Petzl Duo, with LEDs for the lower light source. I recently modified my traditional Duo with a Moduled 8, which gives me three levels of LED light, plus a Halogen high beam. The light is waterproof, and has a very secure switch which will not turn on accidentally. Like any headlamp, it can be used as a handheld, often a better way to carry when following uneven ground. Black Diamond has a similar line of headlamps which I would look at very carefully if I were buying from scratch.
