I love my Zebralight H600 with the cool white light. Great for blood trailing, as well.

Check out the Thrunite TH20, simple one double a battery, on ,off, and Brightness adjustment.

This is the one you want - there is nothing better!

And this glow-in-the-dark mount is really nice...

Once you try this setup you will laugh at your friends with cute little 80 lumen lights. And it is adjustable from the lowest lows to the highest highs. Trust me - this is military-grade equipment!

Black Diamond for me. I have both a Storm and Icon. The Icon you could spotlight deer with .........

The Storm is a bit heavy but is very bright. BTW the Storm comes in several brightness levels. I've seen them from 200 to 350 lumens. I have the 350.

I'd consider your purpose before buying a light. I take 2 lights with me. One for walking in/out in the dark. This light is as bright as I can find it - I use the BD Icon for this chore. It is big,bulky but is bulletproof and burns a long time on 3 AA batteries. I always take a smaller light as a tent/camp light. Goal here is enough light not to trip on camp 'things' especially on middle-of-the-night bathroom runs. I usually keep it tucked inside my sleeping bag. I bought the Storm for this duty but am re-thinking. I've used a Petzl Tikka or one of it's derivatives for years. Probably going back to a Petzl for a camp light.

Is there a good lamp with SEPARATE buttons for white and red light? I do not want to cycle through different settings to turn on or off.

Once I made an absolute stealth approach to a stand in the pre-dawn dark. I was carefully navigating the ground using the red light. When I went for the button to turn off the lamp the white light flashed on for a second and a very close deer blew, and bolted off.

I use of one these. Seperate Red button. Rechargeble.

If you want the best: Lupine Piko 4 run time of 80 hours at 40 lumens up to 1:15 hours at 1800 lumens. I use it for night mtn bike riding as well as all my night related hiking and hunting needs.

I went with the zebra as suggested. Christmas present that just recently showed up. Fantastic tool. I like the pocket clip for nighttime winter grilling and the headband for setting goose decs. Thanks for the recommendation.

Start with Zebralight or Black Diamond and then just narrow down based on your preferences.

I am a HUGE fan of the 18650 battery platform (I own many flashlights and 3 headlamps that run 18650's), but my 3AAA Black Diamond is so light and small it's really my favorite to use.
