I use a headlamp most days walking the dog early (apart from the peak of summer when its light early) must be about 5,000 days of testing so far. My shopping list is: A single 18650 battery, flood AND spot (or adjustable focus), multiple power levels, comfortable (light) and waterproof. The Led Lenser MH10 is hard to beat, although the little wire connecting the battery and the lamp looks delicate it hasn't failed yet. The advantage of that system is it is well balanced - the ones with all the weight on your forehead are more durable but more awkward to wear.
The AliExpress ones i got have all failed. The Nitecore I got wasn't adjustable beam - they may have a better model now.
