Looks like the one my neighbor bought on Ebay. But it was $20 cheaper. His is super bright.

I actually have one like the ozark trail and agree they are great little lights for the money but I was looking for something with more range. I caved and ordered one from Pioneer so I'll give a report when it arrives

Doesn't list a lumen rating? I bought one of these for myself, for the truck, and 4 for the grown boys in my family for this Christmas (twenty bucks ea. - 300 lumens): http://www.homedepot.com/p/Coast-FL60-LED-Headlamp-21304/206668908

Isn't this the lumen rating?
Brightness: 4000lm Constant / 5000lm Max (RJ-3000)

Gotta be a different way of rating, or else you can mount it on a train.

Do you really want to wear something that heavy on your head? It's not likely to be heavy enough to bother your neck, but it will be noticeable.
I bought the Streamlight Trident last week and gave it go at the lease this weekend. It's only 80 lumens, so it won't impress many, but it throws a very tight beam and I could see the feeder well enough in the rain to tell that nothing was standing under it. For $30 it's a no brained and it uses cheap and available AAA battery's.

Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.
