#^&#^&#^&#^&s B&T has them here. I have to say that for the money this headlamp is better then $35+ lamps I have tried. It does not look as nice but it has a red led, a white led and a regular beam. Still not a perfect lamp but closer to ideal then most and seems to hold up better then the expensive "waterproof" lamps. The regular beam eats up the batteries quick but the leds are good.

My perfect headlamp would be:
I would like to see a true waterproof lamp
All LED's
1 red broadbeam
1 white broadbeam
1 powerful focused white LED beam
emergency LED flasher red/white rapid blinker
small batteries in the light not in a beltpack.
The switch should be a easy single handed button and should have seprate buttons for each mode not some combo of pushing one button until you get the right mode. Cost: < 50 bucks with a no questions asked return policy...it breaks you get another one.

That would be my assessment as well of the Rayovac.

To those who posted other links; don't worry about it, it's not a big deal.

The order has been placed, Rayovacs are inbound. I'll get them on the web as soon as they arrive.

That light is certainly a great deal for the buck. I've had a couple of them the last few years. Usually last a season or so. Wally world usually takes its da-n sweeet time reordering product, they may show up soon or look in another store.
