[Shop-talk] LED Headlamps

Listers,
After realizing that holding a small flashlight with my teeth was
probably a bad idea (and painful), I decided I needed a /good/ headband
flashlight. I have a couple cheap ones, but they never seem to put out
enough light for working on cars in a dark shop or in the grease pit. I
see people using them on the tube, and they seem to work, but the two I
have--both powered by a couple AAAs--aren't even as powerful as the
cheap flashlights Harbor Freight gives away (which work a couple times
then quit). After checking the Brazilian river/rainforest and a few
review sites it seems they are all over the map, from $10/ea to over
$100! The lumen ratings seem a bit suspicious too, with some Duracell
brand Costco has on sale for a 3-pack rated at 550ea, and at least some
claiming over 1,100 (for a few seconds bursts, anyway). Can anyone
recommend one that actually lasts enough to find the bolt that fell down
between the block and wheel well, and stays in place on your head?
TIA,
Bob
