That "perfect caving light" costs $300! That in itself seems to me to be considerable imperfection. Of course, I'm old enought to remember buying Justrite carbide cap lamps for $3.85. (I'm still using one.) You can get a light with one 3W LED in it and three levels of brightness for something like $40, I think. Certainly less than $50. The one I bought from IMO at the NSS convention last summer would suffice for essentially any caving, seems to me. It's a Princeton Tec light; doesn't have a model number on it. Holds three cheap AAA bateries internally; no cables or connections. Appears reasonably water-resistant, but shouldn't be submerged for long. Could have somewhat wider dispersion of the light, but for the difference in price compared to the "perfect caving light".... There's a review of the Stenlight S7 in the November NSS News.-- Mixon
