Head lamps

Can anybody recommend a good rechargable head lamp that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Preferably one that has a dim setting as well as full on.

I have had enough of those little ones that take AAA batteries.

Hi rockhunter,
had the same dilemma last year got so tired of it i decided to fork out on a silva,alot of money but it is ultra reliable,and a light battery to boot.The only crib i have on the silva lx is that it does'nt have a wide beem,but apart from that its brill.
Give Dan Lynch in halfway a shout and tell him what your looking for he will def have something to suit.He carries the silva range but also some cheaper rechargeables but i can say he won't sell you crap and he is cheaper than alot of the english tackle shops and some others.Give him a shout you will be pleasantly suprised.
All the best.

Thanks Mike,
The Silva LX sounds the business. Maybe Santa will bring me one :) :) :)

Hi rockhunter
I own a spelo nova great lamp it has a half power setting on it, no need to replace the bulb as it is guarenteed for life 8) battery fits on to the back of it, you can keep it on charge all the time you when are not using it :D it cost about 250 - 300 euros but as i always say you pay for what you get,a pack of 4 AAA batteries are around 5-6 euros a time, what amount of fishing time would you get out of them.
