Cree 6000 LM Headlamp I now have one, with 2 more on the way. I am a BIG fan of headlamps. Hands free operation. Rechargeable. Can recharge on auto charger.
This is really the perfect stocking stuffer, for that person in your life, that wants to see what they are doing, where they are going, and don't want to buy batteries.
I got one, and it is a real family favorite.

I can't comment on the headlamp, but I have on my desk right now the second Cree LED light bulb with a 10-year warranty that failed after about a year.
IF this headlamp works good for a year, and fries, then you got your $20 worth!
It's worth 20 buks not to hit your head, on a beam! (well, maybe 10 for me, and 20 for you!)

Maybe 30 for Jim. Isn't he healing from a head wound these days? Or was that an old post on another site...?
My head may be harder than Jims, so I only get $10, So I have to hit it twice, to equal once for Jim. Sorry, it was lost in brevity!

I love my headlamp. I use a Black Diamond ReVolt, which is rechargeable. And it is not very bulky. Very nice for hunting, fishing, outdoors, around the house, walking and running... just about everything.
I have had good luck with the Cree bulbs. I have had a headlamp similar to the one above for about 2 years and I have 3 or 4 flashlights that I have owned for up to 4 years and all of them still work. I have also purchased probably 4 or 5 flashlights and given them as gifts and I believe they all still work. Its amazing how bright these things are.
You must just be unlucky Jim.
Natester - Just ordered one, hope it works better than JimÛªs. I going to use it when SWMBO sends me into the attic looking for God knows what during the Holiday season. Now I wonÛªt have to carry a flashlight in one hand while trying to navigate that damn pull down ladder to access the attic one handed!
Thanks for the info.

To clarify, my misfortune with Cree products pertains only to household LED lightbulbs, not battery-powered headlamps.
Jim, it would seem that your misfortunes are NOT limited to bulbs. They include steel post drivers! (How's your head?)
It's raining.

Head is fine, the scar goes well with the bald spot. My foot is healing quickly, I can walk without crutches now, so I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking!
Been using a Brinkman for many years, has white & red light
I'm always looking for a good headlamp to use while camping. It seems that the ones I've purchased around the $20 range end up failing after one season. My buddy bought one for about $55 over 4 years ago. And it is still going.
