There are those type of lights that have a headband that you just put on your head that has a light with usually a bright light and then some LED options. I am looking for something with a bright xenon bulb but then some LED combination option. And maybe a light that has a seperate switch for the xenon bulb so you don't have to cycle through all the bulb combinations. What light do you use and what are your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
 
I got a little headband light by Rayovac from Wallyworld. It was cheap (~ $10) and really bright. It has red, and white LED and then a much brighter regular light although I'm not sure if it's a Xenon or not. It does just have one switch so you do have to cycle through but its not that big a deal to me. It uses 3 AAA batteries and they last a looooonnnnggg time. try one, for $10 you can't go wrong and if it does not suit you will still have it for a spare should you need a quick replacement. My other hunting buddies had the more expensive versions and they saw mine and went out and got themselves one and started using it instead. I got the tip from a message board so I'm paying it forward....try it, you might like it.
 
cabelas alaskan guide series headlamp is the one i own i currently have three and have owned several in the past years this is by far the best one i have owned $40
 
I have one from WallMart that has 6 LED'S and it works good but I find that the switch is hard to activate and you have to scroll through all the light combinations once you turn it on. I would like to have on that the bright light is on one switch and the other combinations on another. Shaunt, is this the way it is on the Alaskan guide one you have?
Thanks guys for all your replies.
 
I went througha handfull last year and then I bought the Princeton Tec EOS Headlamp. They can be had online at Sport Chalet for $39.99. They have 3 brightness levels and the batteries last super long. By far this is the brightest hedlamp I have tried.

on my headlamp you press the button to turn it on and you get three very bright l.e.d.lights press the button again you turn it off press it again and you get the xenon bulb which i think is either 32 lumens or 40 not sure exactly but it is super simple to use i rarely use the xenon bulb because the l.e.d. is so damn bright and batteries last a long time i replace the batteries every year not cause they are going out but i like to keep a fresh set in them and ill tell ya i use the sh!t out of my light like when im setting up duck decoys or whatever it stays on alot never had any problems best light for the money and this light also comes with green l.e.d. or red mine is white or blue l.e.d. whatever good luck let us know what ya get
 
Petzl tikka plus is what I use. You can buy lense covers most any place. I bought mine on ebay and the lense covers @ cabelas. I think it was about $25-30.
