Headlamp or penlight, which light is better for camping ?

[swifts]

I am going to a camping trip next month and I want to buy a camping light. Convenience and light weight are the most important features , headlamp or penlight, which is better ? Which kind of camping lights are you using ? my friend are using the heavy professional camping torch, but I don't want a heavy one .

i got a pelz head torch, get a led hanging lamp as well for larger areas,
still like a gas lamp, petrol pump up lamps are great but not cheap.

watch out for doggers!

When you're cooking in the dark a headlamp on the head is so much better than a penlight stuck in your mouth!

Awesome little torch, best thing is the pouch, strap it somewhere handy to avoid the torch getting knackered at the bottom of your tool box. Well worth £25

Both I have just started wearing a headlight as having a torch in my mouth was a waste of time
