Rechargeable Li-ion is great for frequent use; AA/AAA is better for emergency backups.

Flood for up-close tasks like reading; Spot for seeing far down the trail.
Durability (IP Rating)
Look for at least IPX4 to ensure your light survives a rainstorm.
Frequently Asked Questions
For most hiking trails, a headlamp with 200 to 300 lumens is sufficient. If you are off-trail or in technical terrain, you may want 500+ lumens.
Yes! Red light doesn't cause your pupils to constrict, allowing you to see the stars and avoid blinding your campmates while maintaining peripheral vision.
In an emergency, yes. However, phone flashlights drain battery quickly and provide a harsh, directional beam that isn't ideal for lighting up a living space.
