Diana, I see that it will even work for folks old enough to still have a Halogen version of the Duo in their equipment stashes. I think I'll go for it, though I have never set up a PayPal account.
How do you think it would compare with a Sten?

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).
