Petzl Myo 3 Headlamp
Myo3 is a great buy

I purchased this for adventure racing and have no complaints about it. It stayed on my head and was easily adjustable when I needed to put it around my bike helmet (even after hour 22 of a race when you don't have much brain power left). The LEDs are bright enough for use while biking on road and in the woods and if you need to pin point something in the distance the halogen is basically a mini spot. I am not sure about a few of the descriptions that say it can go 100 yards but I could definitely pin point a control at about 30 meters without a problem. I also like the fact that the halogen beam can be spread if needed. The Myo 5 has two more LEDs but honestly, I wouldn't spend the extra $40 for them (I'd spend $20 maybe) because I was able to ride through the woods and feel fairly confident that I wouldn't hit anything.
