I Have had good luck with my Petzl forget the model # but has a krypton bulb and 4 leds, with a 4AA remote battery. Enough light with the 4 leds for most situations and the focusable krypton beam is there the odd time I have needed it. A single charge on the 4AAs with the LEDs lasts for many nights of skiing or snowshoeing, but I only gets about 4-5 hours with the high beam on.
The remote battery keeps the weight on the head down, and the battery pack a can be stuffed into an inside pocket when the temp heads south of zero.
