Petzl has a head lamp finder:10 -
I would checkout Run4Adventure's YT channel. He reviews a ton of headtorches for ultra trail running so performance, unit durability/waterproofing, & burn time play critical factors in his reviews. He seems to review all price points. Seems most ppl recommend Petzl only b/c they market heavily to consumers. But for the price/performance, Petzl ranks near the bottom in the hardcore running market due to their overpriced rechargeable batteries, avg performance, and basic features sold at premium prices.

Whatever you do, FFS, DO NOT aim your light at the eye level of oncoming runners or bikers, (or drivers).
Its far better to use light sparingly and as needed. Your eyes will adjust especially on moonlit or cloudy nights. You should have a (red) tail light if there is any danger of traffic or whatever behind but blinding your fellow athletes and commuters is not helpful.
Its incredible how many imbecilc bikers (especially) think they need an 1M candlepower headlight shooting in the eyes of anyone coming toward them.
