Zebralight..  Best there is.
Runner up but very distant second fenix aluminum model hl50 I think.

Black Diamond  Storm. They have a locking feature so it won't come on in your pack. Great light, give it a look.

Zebralight also has a lock out.
Not knocking any other lights. But you can not beat a zebra light and if there was a light that did I'd own it.

Hummer3T

I have a Cyclops (cheap $14) and great, lightweight, good and easy adjustment, etc.  I have had and do have more $ ones but love this one.
Life is about learning from your mistakes!

I've got an energizer brand from Wally World or lowes and that thing stays with me for any outdoor adventure. During bow season it stays in my pack with a small led hand held ozark trail. I love having these two with me on a blood trail. The energizer has excellent battery life and has took a beating since 2007. Energizer was $14 and ozark trail was $8.00.

Best I've used thus far is the Foxelli.  Super bright with different settings (of course), USB rechargeable, charge lasts incredibly long.

Big Lefty

I've got a Petzl  (sp), had it for 10+ years.  I can get through a season on one set of triple A's.  Doesn't weigh much either.  I'm sure technology has improved since I bought it, I just haven't had to look into one in a long time.

Biathlonman

My current is a fenix but I had to do some work to it as the mount was junk.  Always keep a quality small flashlight in the pack. Just got a new streamlight that I'm pretty impressed with. I use a flashlight for a living, I won't tolerate junk.

Zebralight for a headlamp,Fenix for flashlight,using 18650 Li-ion battery.
IF MONEY TALKS MINE SAYS GOODBY

meathead

I have a terra lux that I use a lot. Small, bright locks in the off position so it won't come on in you pack. I think it is about 500 lumens on high.

babs

Zebralight for me too, ive tried them all. Best headlamp ive ever had and the model i got takes rechargeable batteries. Only had to charge it twice and i hunt alot.

Which model of Zebralight, please?  Tx.

Best for the money it costs that I have found is  Princeton Tec  Fuel model, if you want a red light also on it, one of their Remix models has a red light. They are all we use for backcountry elk hunting now, they work really good.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

warden415

I'll second Princeton Tek. Inexpensive and lightweight. Work very well. Can find for less than $25

Hoyt

I got my last one on sale for $1.50 shipped. Normally about $6.50 shipped. Zoomable ultrafire of some sort.

Been using them for quiet a few yrs.

The fulfillment of your hunt is determined by the amount of effort you put into it  >>>---->

The zebralight 600 and their other 18650 battery models require expensive batteries and purchasing a good charger. Not that that is bad but not everyone will want to go that route. You also need to make sure the 18650 battery is the right lenght and head type.
 If you want simpler zebralight the h32w natural white is a great light weight cr123 battery light (my favorite).
If you want an AA zebralight the h52 neutral white is a great light as well.
Imo its the h32w with cr123 that wins. Batteries can be had for a buck apiece online, its small and super light with great output and battery life. The cr123 battery is impervious to cold weather where as alcoline batteries die instantly in cold temps. Plus my eagletac flash lights I also carry use cr123 batteries as well so one battery for all my lights.
