Well, this probably won't help you.
But I use this at work.
It clamp on my hardhat.
It is 80 lumens.
But it only last 1-2 hours, depends on the battery capacity.
It uses two of the 123 batteries.
I used rechargeables. 2 in the light, two in my pocket in a plastic carry case, and 4 in my toolbelt.
Yeah man.....get with the times. I do 100 mile foot races in the mountains. That means being out there all night with a headlamp. It has to be bright AND light. In those races, I’m averaging about 8 miles an hour. I have to be able to see much better than a hiker or someone going slow so I don’t step wrong and break something.
The answer is a Zebralight with an 18650. Mine does over 1k lumens on max output, or I can make it all night on 500 lumens on 2 batteries.
Check them out and the feedback on CPF. This isn’t a flashlight forum, and they get no love on INGO for some reason.....but they are extremely well regarded on CPF and among any flashlight geeks.
I have one of these & love it, there is no red light on it however, but man is it bright.

I am a professional who uses headlamps near daily and the Zebralight is the hands down best bang for the buck. I own six. They completely blow every other out of the water in the price range.
Yup.....nobody listens on this forum. They're the best dang thing out there, and they are reasonably priced to boot. Pretty well anything else posted here is fairly janky compared to them.
Fenix was mentioned upthread. They're decent, but the ZL will kick the **** out of them.
Streamlight and Surefire are nice for gun lights, but they don't make anything worth a rats ass for headlamps.
Pretty well everything else listed in this thread, I wouldn't use if you need it for anything serious. I do like my petzl tikka for car camping though...
Ok- dubs, you have my attention... I've been back and forth in this thread and cannot find a link or reference to the lights your referring too. Help an bro out here.
TIA.

I go quantity over quality with these. I have several $5 single LED headlamps around the house, garage, and vehicles.
