Headlamp Recommendations

To All:

My 6 or 7 year old halogen headlamp broke and I can't fix it so I am
looking for a replacement. I only use it in emergencies such as having
to ski out in the dark and see the trail. Using it to read a book in a
tent is NOT important. These days, there are both halogen and LED
headlamps available. Any recommendations on LED v. halogen and any
recommendations on particular models is appreciated. If it takes AA
batteries that is a plus as my beacon runs on AA's too.

Thanks,

Steve
