Princeton Tec Yukon HL Headlamp
Friggin' amazing

I've got a pile of headlamps because I'm a nerd, but the Yukon HL is the standby one that I keep coming back to because it's just so darn good at everything. The high beam is blinding out to about 30-ish feet, and the triple ring of little LEDs fills nicely without being quite so horrifyingly bright.
I love having short and long range options on the same lamp. If you change the batteries before a multi-week trip you can forget about them until you're back home. It's tough as heck too. I've been bashing it around inside hardcases, backpacks, and pockets for years, and have dropped it a stream, down a rocky embankment, and onto about a hundred different kinds of dirt. It's still going strong.
