Petzl Zipka Headlamp
Simple and nice, but...

This is a nice headlamp. Very light and useful, but for just a little extra I would recommend getting the Zipka Plus mainly because you can save battery power by switching between three different dim modes and a flash mode (the regular Zipka has only one on/off switch). The dimmest mode on the Plus is usually enough and significantly extends battery life. I have even used the flash mode to hike at night when my batteries were almost dead. The strobe light effect is annoying but it helped me finish hiking.
