14. Sure. It just represents the one I've used for years

and come to rely on.

1) push button, not switch
2) no more than 3 functions: no red, no strobe (!), just: high, low, off.
3) tilt at least 90deg (amazing how few have this)
4) 3 AAA batteries
5) super, super bright (but I don't know the actual lumens)
6) simple elastic headband (not head harness)

That's it. Not complicated, I just cannot find one with all of these features, and none are negotiable.

Amazon must have a bazillion headlamps, but there seems to be no viable way to search for these exact specs, partly due to vendors not including such details in a searchable way.

The one I have isn't even branded anywhere obvious--maybe the circuit card has some info on it, but haven't looked recently. I used to have several of the same unit, but as components failed over the years, I've frankensteined the parts into one final survivor--and I sense it's approaching demise....
