I have recently discovered a nice 120deg wide angle light from Mako (about $70 each) that works great as both a video light for GoPro filming and as a helmet light for giving you beautiful color vision of everything you look at. For more pinpoint / long range illumination I like any of the cheap chinese LED handhelds. They are as bright as the expensive brands at 10% to 20% of the cost (and I suspect are made with more or less the same components). I bought some for $25 each that have worked well and held up great. All the above run on rechargeable 16850 batteries (which you can also harvest from an old laptop battery pack) and some even come with an adapter insert to allow use of 3 AAA disposable batteries as well.
