I like the lights that clip to my hat. As for a hand held flash light, I got a small black mag light, the kind that holds AA batteries.

I use a headlamp from wal-mart, costs around $15, I think it is an Energizer brand.

It's great and doesn't eat batteries.

I use a head lamp 94% of the time. One less thing to hold on to.

You guys should really check out the Pelican 2360 Tactical model. It holds 2 "AA" and is one bright little dude. They can be had for around $40.00 and carry a lifetime guarantee.

I use an Energizer headlamp. It keeps your hands free for putting out decoys and carrying your gear to the hunting hole.

I have to agree with JCAV on the energizer. We have used there LED headlights for a couple years now. They are tough little lights.

On another note I bought a Gander mountain light from a guy at the market hall gun show, and it is awesome for its size. It also comes with green, red, and blue LED settings. It is far and away brighter than my surefire and stream lights. I bought it for 35 from the guy at the show new in package.

Here is a link to it, I think it is still worth it even at the Gander price,

We normally use the smaller maglights. In fact, if you want one you can come find the one my gf apparantly dropped in the pond. She swore it was in the blind and it wasn't. That leaves the only other place lol.

I seen my maglight glowing in the bottom of a pond for 2 days. Talk about make you depressed everytime you look out there. Now I use a rechargeable streamlight and an el' cheapo headlamp from wally world. Streamlights are the best!

Streamlight all the way! Trident headlamp and a Stinger rechargeable will cover all your needs. Also, check out the new waypoint hand held spot light.
