...Fenix headtorch...
Yes - but I've got the 1xAA model. [I think AAs make a lot more sense than AAAs, but that's maybe not relevant to you!]

Hmm. I have a Petzl Pixa which is AA, but I take a Tikka something on the bike because it is AAA, which gives me a bail out set out of AAAs for the rear light.

But how would you see to change them over??

Anyone tried the Fenix head torches?
Look pretty good, some with USB charging, and replaceable 18650 batteries, so you could carry spares.

I have a Fenix HL55, which is a bit good, and is used for wandering about in very rural areas, as well as working on equipment.  Its a fair size, bloody expensive, and runs on a single 3.5Ah 18650 Li-Ion cell. When purchasing you need to remember to include for a cell, and charger, if you don't already have one.  I've also got a Fenix LD60 torch, so I'm OK on that front. It has several brightness levels, from reasonable to effing bright.
