Liked this $19 one from REI so much, we bought 3l last year. Not heavy, has 3 settings, telescopes from spit light to wide angle, has middle strap which we like for staying on head or over hats. https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/891429/mountain-summit-gear-130-lumen-headlamp
Tried some awful $70 one from REI before that. Heavy, no middle strap, plastic strap adjuster gadget dug into head
Not a headlamp, OP, but I picked up one of these up at Lowes on Black Friday last year and got a lot of use out of it last winter: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Panther-Vision-48-Lumen-LED-Spotlight-Battery-Flashlight-Battery-Included/50200163
They’re also available on Amazon for the same price, but in more colors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PM687P2/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Love them because they shine a light downward, rather than out - so you get a nice little pool of light down on the ground in front of you. Makes picking stalls a bit easier since you don’t have to bend your head down as far to spotlight the piles, and also doesn’t blind whoever happens to be standing in front of you. They don’t have the nice red light feature, though.
Friends who walk dogs at night think they’re pretty great, too.
