I have used an older model Princeton, water-resistant, led, 2 AAA's, head-lamp with over the top strap, for night fishing, worked well, but it had it's weaknesses.
It had to be snug or it would wobbled when you WALKED, to tight and you had headaches.
Light was perfect for tying knots, grabbing bait in the live-well, but quickly dim'd after about 10 ft.
Did well in the rain.
If your running or need visibility for 30-40-50 ft ahead, I would suggest a good LED AA bat hand-held. Especially if you might run into critters..
Something like the Princeton TORRENT LED
Quote:
POWER 95 Lumens
LAMP Maxbright LED
BURN TIME 30 Hours
BATTERIES 8 AA Alkaline
WEIGHT 365 Grams
Power meets versatility in the Torrent LED. It’s small enough to be a backup light, but with a 95 Lumen Maxbright LED, it’s more than powerful enough to be a main source. A simple switching mechanism and a 100-meter waterproof rating ensure that the Torrent LED will be shining bright whenever and wherever you need it to go.
