In reply to Misha:
If you can deal with using 18650 batteries then have a look at the Armytek Wizard Pro V3.
It's on the expensive end but still cheaper than the higher end mountaineering head torches. It blows every other head torch out the water that I've seen. About the same brightness as my cars headlights with a considerably better battery life than equivalent torches. I think Ive charged the batteries twice in a year of owning it with reasonable use, and that was just to make sure it was charged before large trips.
As for the cold, it's had a season in Scotland and the Alps on the same charge.
