I use LED headlamps a fair amount. I keep one hanging next to my main work area and pop it on as needed. When preparing a surface for finishing, I often combine the headlamp for direct light with a handheld small led flashlight to provide raking light. As far as brands or brightness, I've used a bunch of brands usually in the $20 range- the kids have a way of making them disappear. I haven't noticed a big difference between models although I've never gone high end.

I use one every now and then on a cold day when I cannot open the garage door. I use a backpacking headlamp. I provides some direct light, but it is not super bright. They can be helpful, but a portable mounted light would be significantly better.

I have one the wife got me for Xmas, but mostly use if for DIY projects like working under the sink, etc. Not much use for it in the shop as the lighting there is very good to start with.

I have a single LED, focus beam one I use from time to time. Love it for functionality but it makes me look like a kook so I only wear it when no one is looking.
