I know of a good one that we've used for coyote hunting and bow fishing. I'll ask the boys what brand it is. Very good one.

I use this one. Has about every light mode you could want. Focusing spotlight w/ boost mode. Flood light. Red light. When using the spotlight, it has an auto-dimming feature that dims the light when you look down at your phone/pack/whatever so you're not blinded. I think i'm on year 3 of the same set of batteries, too. Pricey, but it's perfect for me.

I carry a small green led flash light if I need any larger light source. I have been hunting the same farms now for 24 years and 10 years respectively, so there really isn't any step that I make in the pitch black that I don't know like the back of my hand. So generally there is no light on when I walk in the dark.
As to a head lamp, I always have a green led that clips onto the bill of my ball cap. I simply use it for when I need just a little bit of light in the dark (setting up my camera gear, getting situated in the stand, etc.) The one that I really have grown to like and have been using for a number of years now is the Cyclops Micro Hat Clip with 5 green led bulbs. It is tiny and inexpensive. I buy it on Amazon for like $8 or so. I just buy a new one every year and now have a pile of them as spares. They seem to last forever and I have one on most every hunting hat that I wear, so I am never miss placing them.

I use a Petzl/high & low with a red beam 240 lumen for hunting/tracking/hanging the stand (use the red a lot when at the tree) and have a Coast 170 lumen as a back up, this has a on/off switch lock so it dosnt turn on accidentally in the fanny pack pocket... I use AAA Energizer Lithiums in both for batteries ....
