I've used cheapo flashlights before and found that they don't stand up to the quality of say a Maglite. So... I assume the same is true in this case (not all LEDs or LED driver circuits are made the same). Sure Petzls are more expensive at 4 to 7 times the price (depending on the model), but I'd trust them in life or death situations. Products like this I'd only trust for once or twice a year of casual or non mission critical usage. But then again, these might be useful for disposable applications or for sitting in a glove box in case of light (no pun intended) emergencies. (Sorry that I sound so stubbornly opinionated - I've had very bad experiences with non branded cheapo flashlights and lanterns). I've read that people have been satisfied with purchases from ledshoppe.com. They ship free and directly from China, and have some pretty interesting flashlight/headlamp offerings.

Here's some other headlamp options for under $10, but none as cheap as $4.99 http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.headlamp Nice deal, looks like free shipping as well.
