Petzl is the trusted brand for camping/hiking when you want a reliable head=

t I use in the garage that are fine. Some of the newer ones use rechargeabl=

We use PETZLs and have had really good luck with them. The
one I frequently use in the studio has lasted for 7 years now, in
spite of being dropped multiple times and having clay smeared
on it.
I think that having adjustability is good, so you might consider
PETZL - ACTIK CORE Headlamp. They have it at the Brazilian
river store, and probably at regular sporting goods stores, as well.
It has a couple of beam patterns which might be helpful, too.
