Headtorch Recommendations?

Looking to update. Hoping for plug in charging, lightweight. Rear lamp a must.
Currently have a fleet of these rather old ones.

Can't help much, my knowledge of headtorches ended in the mid 90's at petzls with filament bulbs and 3x AA batteries

Yes. Times they are a changing indeed! I remember when going out riding at night involved lots of carrots.

I had some Ever Ready bike lights that ran on 4 D-Cells, weighed about 6 kg each

And when you hit a bump,
the lights jump out of that white plastic clip thingy,
smash on the ground
and you grovel around in the dark trying to find all the little bits and pieces
to reassemble it in the dark,
light up and ride home.

Ah those were the days

Petzl: better manufacturing and environmental values, plenty of expertise, reliability and spares backup.
