Which is a better torch light for climbing? LED or bulb type?

Question: Wanted to know what is the best torch light while climbing mountain? My trip have to start climb at 11,000 feet, pitch dark at 3AM. There would be a group of people climbing too... therefore considering which type of torch light is good for this purpose. the climb would last until 7AM then we would be coming down from the peak. Browse the net and found out, LED and Bulb type, and handheld & head lamp type. A bit confuse and need your expertise on this.

Answer: I'm not a climber, but I do know a bit about LED's. They are far more durable, and use less power than conventional bulbs. They produce a crisp, clear illumination as well. The only down side to LEDs generally is that they are usually more expensive than traditional bulbs.
