I've had several headtorches over the years as the technology improves. Latest from Aldi is rechargeable 2 modes spotlight or widebeam flat light. £7 whilst stock lasts. Much brighter and more useful than my current headtorch.

1000 lumens just blinds you if you are working on the plumbing under the sink.
For bushcraft when your eyes are night adapted, the lowest setting on a 15yr old Petzl tikka is plenty.
But good colour rendition is always important....

Nothing like a good prot in the dark
IP4X ingress protection isn't waterproof. Not even dust proof. But at least it won't have holes big enough to poke anything into
