I received 2 new LED headlamps for my birthday this past weekend.
1 )
http://www.coastportland.com/hl44-led-headlamp.htm
Purchased at a Walmart that caters to the wealthy folks.. I haven't seen it
at any other store. The good is, the light pattern and settings
are perfect
for Texas caving, and the best I have ever seen in a lamp this inexpensive.
The bad is, the build quality is cheezy, and it would not make
a good caving lamp, for Texas caves. However, it would make an
excellent backpacking headlamp.
So it is suitable for a dry walking cave, where the lamp will not get
muddy or wet, or
banged up. Like Cueva del Abra, or Cueva La Boca, or Precipicio, Bustamante,
Illusive Pit, etc.
2 )
I can't find a link anywhere on the web for the next one, but it is a new one
at Home Depot under the brand Defiant. It is in the same category
as the light
in the link below:
http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/witmerpublicsafety/61400_alt1?$Product%20Page$
It should survive 1 trip through Whirlpool. The light pattern and
settings are
terrible. It does seem to be water-resistant enough for caving, and
maybe useful
as maybe a back-up headlamp to throw in the pack. If I keep it, it
will be my glove-box headlamp for
changing flat-tires.
However, of all the cheezy inexpensive lamps out there now, I would
recommend this
one to a newbie going on their first and only caving trip.
Any cheap LED headlamp should be tried for several hours above ground,
before using it
on a real caving trip, to make sure it handle continuance use.
On a related note,
the Walmart that I was at, has the best selection of LED products I have
ever seen. There were several new lanterns and flashlights, I had
never seen before.
It is in an area were the Houston pro athletes and many doctors live,
so apparently
not all Walmarts are the same.

Warning--Yet another unusual feature of the coming NSS convention.
Registration will not be open 24 hours a day during the opening
weekend. Registration will be open only from 12 noon (which they call
12 p.m.) until 8 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. subsequent
days. If you arrive after hours on Saturday or Sunday, you may camp in
the campground and register later. In other words, you may camp before
registering Saturday or Sunday night but not Friday night. Grrr.
Note that registration is not at the NSS building and campground but
at the high school. See http://nss2014.caves.org/ for maps, etc.
This will be my fiftieth NSS convention. They used to open Friday
night. What happened? -- Mixon
