Well, my cheapo headlamp of about 5 years just broke while turkey hunting Saturday. It only had 260 lumens, but had a red light and a price tag of about $15. Now, I'm trying to decide to I go with the same or a little brighter. Anyone have a great headlamp in the $50 and under range? There's a Biolite on this page that looks good, but not sure about getting a rechargeable because if the battery dies, there's no replacing it while you're afield.
I can't help you in that. I use a 1200 lumen to find deer at night once they have had a taste of carbon. On the walk in I use a tiny 20 lumen 3 inch light. Hard to spook them with that and in my case I know the ground very well. I know this is a classic Internet answer that helped you zero percent but I gave it a few days and nobody responded so if nothing else this should bump it for you. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
Cheap and functional -Energizer Vision. But a 2 pack comes with batteries $25, 325 lumens at Lowes. More feature including a lock so the batteries don't die, variable brightness and long battery life - black diamond Storm 350-400 lumens - you can find them for about $35-45 Personally I don't like rechargeable batteries...
I've read of many people saying the Energizer one is really good, good brightness and they hold up well for how inexpensive they are.
