Headlamp question
18024 by: Mallory Mayeux
Hello Cavers!
I am toying with the idea of purchasing a new headlamp and wanted some
opinions--is anyone using the Petzl Duo? If so, how do you like it? For the
money, is there something else you would recommend?

Hello Caver
I'm kind of curious as well about the best waterproof headlamp for the money
out there. For what I used them for these days, the cheap ones work fine.
But for caving I would want a much tougher light.

I am really fond of my Sten light. It is not cheap but it is dependable,
robust, and fairly water resistant.
In answer to Malory’s original question, I used to use a Duo and it worked well
for me. I highly recommend the LED version. For casual caving, it will work
just fine.

You could always search around the "Lost Petzl Cave System" for Melanie
Alspaugh's lost Duo. It's been there for a few years, so it might need new
O-rings. ;-)

I've always had good results with my old incandescent version of the Duo, but
that probably isn't for sale anymore.

Allan,
I like my Sten Light too. It is not NOT a good waterproof light. The
battery contains circuitry. The plug connection between the battery and the
light is a portal for water. Not a good combination. The risk can be lessen
by coating the connection with dielectric grease.
The light I use
I second the durability of FX-2's; I've had mine for more than 15yrs and it's
still going strong. It's outlasted numerous helmet mounted lights, though it is
more robustly made (for caving).
Looks like you can still get old ones:

Whatever kind of light you get, you'll definitely want to go
with LEDs. Incandescent just can't compete when it comes to
brightness and battery life. And for batteries, you can't beat
lithium ion. They are small, lightweight, long-lasting, very
reliable and much cheaper in the long r
