Well I used to have a led lenser and now I have a couple of Petzl headlamps. My experience with the ledlenser was not good. The rechargeable battery was not functioning anymore after 3 times charging. The strap was not stretching anymore after a while. The hinge was broken and the automatic boost function did not work anymore. I am a petzl fan yes. It is true I believe lumens are not everything when herping. For spotting mammals you need a strong powerfull lamp but for herping the strongest is not necessarily the best. If you are going to herp in forests you need less lumen than in an open field. Petzl origanally manufactured for speleologists. So it has to be durable. The petzl nao+ is good. Also you can check the actik core and reactik+. All of these you can extend with rechargeable batteries.
