This may be old news to those who religiously read the NSS Cave Forum ("Cave
Chat"), but there is an interesting new LED module being sold for the Petzl Duo
14- or 8-LED headlamps:
http://customduo.co.uk/customduo.aspx
These modules use Cree XPG LEDs (your choice of the R5 or R4), and you have a
choice of replacing just the side spot (the halogen bulb) or both the side spot
and the original LED module. Lumen ratings range from 110 to 280 depending upon
configuration. Prices range from 28 to 44 English pounds ($45 - 71),
international shipping is free (for now). Payment is via PayPal.
This may be an inexpensive way to upgrade your old Petzl Duo headlamp into
something much brighter (and a lot sturdier and more waterproof) than many of
the Princeton Tec headlamps currently available (such as the notoriously
finicky Apex).
