I’ll go ahead and say it, the SureFire Minimus is probably the best head lamp I’ve ever used…
One caveat would be weight, but then it comes back to application. If you need usable light, because you have a task that requires you to use your hands, this is it. It gives you varying degrees of light, 5 to 300 lumens, right where you need it, in front of you. And there isn’t a blazing hot spot. Nice even light.
