Any body have a favorite headlamp?

How about head lamps with knobs instead of push buttons for turning on/off?

I have had older ones that I liked better, smaller and with a knob for 
turning the light on/off.
I like the knob because then you can just turn on the red light (it was 
the first) and keep your night vision, then turn it off.
The push buttons force you to run through all the light modes.

It is also easier with a know to tell that the light is off in a bright 
environment, just make sure it is turned all the way.  With a push 
button you may have to take it off or hold your hand in front of it and 
click away.

What I am looking for is something for general use- wiring data centers, 
engine bays, black outs, hunting, camping etc.
I leave for a job in a few weeks and want something that I can mail order.

----  Uh Oh, Kitchen Content?  I really need to register for the food 
forum :-)  Anyone else going to join me?

I could have used my headlamp when I was cleaning the grill attachment 
on my folks 5 Star stove.  Boy does the design of this grill suck, 
cleaning was a pain.  I'm leaving the grill apart just set it back in 
place to make cleaning easier.

On the other hand the oven did ok on the corn bread muffins, even but 
not browned at all.
