I know someone who's kid ordered a caravan on her father's pc once. £25,000 on ebay and the seller tried to make him buy it too. Said it wasn't his fault so cough up the £25k!! Don't think he did cough up and doubt anyone could make you if its an accident like that. Still reckon it was brown trousers moment till it got sorted at that amount. At least a head torch you were looking at and a cue ball you could end up using aren't that bad.
I have a primus head torch and a new e-lite from petzl. I also have a Black Diamond one too. The BD one is one spot beam LED at 1.5, 2 or 3W (can't remember now) and three 0.5W LEDs for flood. Had it for years now and the whole thing just works well. Bright but also excellent on the battery life. Cost about £35 4 years ago though. 70 lumens main beam.
The Primus one was freebie but costed £50 two years ago. Well over 100 lumens on the single LED. It said on the packet on full setting (full, medium and low settings) it lights up to 125m but it doesn't. It lit up the opposite side of a gully one night enough to pick out detail and that was in excess of 500m!! It had a special LED at the time that was the most powerful out at the time. Was brighter than the best performing Petzl head lamp which cost "270 at the time too.
IIRC CREE is just a brand of LED AFAIK it is something to do with the lensed LEDs that make them bright for good power drain. They are only one of a fewe good brand LEDS that headlight makers use.
Also make sure headlights are regulated ones. IIRC they get better battery life, can use all types of battery and they are consistently bright until near the end. They dim a little when the batteries are close to finishing. This gives you a warning to change the batteries before lights out not after. Not fun changing batteries by feel. Worse changing maglite bulbs like that. HAd and old AA one and bulb went as I was getting into my tent after a pub night. So half cut (well fully cut TBH) I had to change the bulb in the dark. YOu can imagine how long it took me. Basically as long as it took me to sober up which was about an hour of cursing!!
lol
