Yes, in fact Bill Steele, Emily Zuber and I did just that in a cave in
Guerrero in April. I talked about it at the TSA Convention. I'm sure
that Bill would agree that his carbide lamp wouldn't have worked well
at all in such a passage. In fact, his favorite multi-LED light was
also barely up to the task, but he was glad he had it rather than his
old carbide lamps.

Hi David,
When was the last time you used a carbide light? Have you ever used an
LED light in a passage over, say, 30meters wide and high?
Cheers,
Stefan

What I meant by carbide is now dead, is that a newbie getting into
caving,
should just be loaned a rock-solid LED headlamp for their first trip,
like
the new Energizer, or something certainly under $ 40.
