Brightest headlamp with great battery life.

A friends has one of these, and he likes it a lot.
Kinda pricey at $200.00, but it works great.
He works as a "Critter Gitter" and when he has to crawl around under houses he doesn't want
to deal with cheap headlamps that will let him down when he needs it the most.
