Thanks for posting this.
I looked at 2 items
Black Diamond has 2 items under 30USD, so I looked at them. Many choices.

Low 6 lm Not sure if that apples to both white and red.
Petal (sic) had one that interested me, but for 60USD

Low white 6 lm, RGB 2 lm
Both posted low light level specs where I'd want them, meaning that I prolly will replace my aging Princeton and Petzl headlamps in the near future. I have also some other BC lamps, but not headlamps, and I agree that these have done me well.
I won't give up my Chandler, and will likely update my keychain lamp for ~12USD.
BioLite has some great products overall, but I don't think their head lamps compare well

Won't go as low as I'd like for low. 100 lm. So they are just not what I'd want for a night groove with my radio.
But they are really well designed, and so are the other products.
