Is this the headlamp I want for all-night trail running? I plan to run 100-mile races, and money is too tight to go screwing around and buying a closet full of headlamps. . . Any recommendations?

David, Check out this headlamp by Black Diamond: http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Icon-Headlamp/BLD1034M.html It's about a third of the price and gives you two different types of LED lighting for different conditions. It's lightweight, water resistant, has 200+ hours of burn time, and very comfortable. Karl Meltzer uses this headlamp, and he knows a little bit about running 100 milers at night :)
