Goodbye Black Diamond. - School me on headlamps

I've been very pleased with my Coast headlight. Three different settings for the main light from dim to very bright, red and green light, and it's been bulletproof for the last 3 years. Only downside I'd say is it eats batteries a bit faster then most headlamps I've used but not to bad.
Fenix and Coast are the two brands still this race.
 
Which one will I not lose because i put it in a jacket pocket and packed the jacket away for the summer....Asking for a friend..
 
I have a Fenix HM50R with 1 extra battery. Plugs into my phone charger. I walk in the dark a lot and in 2 seasons I have never used the spare battery. I will never go back to a non-rechargeable light. I have a couple of black diamond lights that I rarely use in the woods since I got the Fenix.
 
I should note, don’t leave your Fenix on and throw it in your puffy pocket even for a minute. For some weird reason if causes down to appear. I also set it down for a very short time on my pickup middle console. I thought I caught it quickly as I recalled my jacket incident. Too late, it left a nice little circle.🤬 Operator error.🤬
 
A couple different rechargeable ones. Gifts. However I prefer the coast HL8R. This lite uses 4 AA batteries which is handy when in the bush with little sun to recharge.
