Santa Claus came early to my house this year. About 6 years ago, maybe more, when I was ranting about LED headlamps, I posted something about an LED headlamp that was pictured on a Chinese wholesaler web-site, and that it looked interesting. I have been looking out for it in stores in my dozens of LED shopping sprees ever since, and was surprised to have never found it, or even anything similar to it.
But today, I was in the clearance section of "Over-Priced Books at Half-Price," picking out all my family a $ 1.00 book for their Christmas gift, and laying on the shelf was the mysterious headlamp and for only $ 2.00. It was a surreal moment like that old movie about the Miracle on 34th St. Here is the exact head-lamp: https://d3vjvsn2tynjug.cloudfront.net/v2/w_490,h_490/https%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Ftanga-images%2Fxz3z3zz6gvew.jpg This headlamp is the almost perfect newbie headlamp. It is good enough to take in any large Texas cave, and some of the smaller caves in the Guads. It has a bright smooth light pattern, and 2 dimmer settings, along with an emergency flash mode. I do not know if this is something the store has carried recently, or what the regular price is. Mine had a broke ring around the lens cap, which I will try to fix. Keep an eye out for this headlamp, and if you find one, buy it. I meets the Locklear Seal of Approval ( LSA ) for cheapo LED headlamps. On a related note, 2 very lucky cavers just received the test-models of LED products that I once reported about, as a token of appreciation for their contribution to Texas caving. This one though, I am keeping until a better one comes along. David Locklear NSS # 27639 P.S. For those of you who do not know me and think I am arrogant, I am just being corny in a truthful, but exaggerated sort of way. It is just my warped sense of nerdy humor. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
