More on the EOS.... I bought a Princeton Tec EOS during TAG last month. So far, I am very satisfied with it. I had heard many favorable comments on the light prior to considering it as an option, but when I saw the small size of it at TAG, I was somewhat dubious. After using it incave the last month, I am now a believer in this light.
We have just recently had a discussion of the EOS on another forum. Here is the link to the thread if anyone is interested: http://tinyurl.com/az643 The Stenlight S7 seems to be a caver's dream light, but not in my budget for 2005.
