    Help picking a headlamp

    So I'm in the market for a new headlamp. So far, this one is at the top of my list: https://www.nitecorestore.com/NU50-H...-nite-nu50.htm

    Main reasons being are super-amazing runtime and rechargeable battery. 11 hour runtime on 600 lumens, which seems to be a pretty accurate number based on what I've read so far.

    The big con of this one is the spill. It's wider than I would prefer. I would rather have a more focused beam with a longer throw.

    I'm not an "operator" so replaceable batteries and weight aren't the top concerns. I actually prefer rechargeable, but if it's battery powered CR123 are ideal. I'm also not wearing a helmet, so mounts, etc., are not a concern.

    I would like something at least 500 lumen with the longest throw possible. I absolutely must have a red light.

    I typically buy Surefire or Streamlight but their offerings are not even close to what this one offers. I'm not too familiar with other brands; I just kinda just stumbled on this one.

    Any suggestions?
