I'm in love with the Scurion, Mallory, since Bill Steele so generously let me borrow Michael Cicherski's at Jester Cave earlier this year.
But, alas, I don't have $700 laying around for one. Talk about a nice, rugged light! I have the Princeton Apex Tec, as well as having bought three for my kids. We've had good luck, for the most part, but mine did start acting up where I couldn't turn it off. I took out the batteries, and put them back in. Now it won't come on. I have sent them an email on getting it repaired (they have a lifetime warranty), but haven't heard back. Suggestions?

It's nice to see lively discussion on Cavetex...it's been eerily quiet since David left. I currently have a Princeton Apex Tec, which is nice, especially for the price, but I think it's time for a brighter light. Roger Moore has very generously offered to loan me his new Sten until I upgrade, but I wanted to start getting opinions because discussing gear is so fun. :) I've seen several cavers with the Duo, so thanks for the insight. Waterproof is important for me, since I don't want to have to switch out lights between water and dry caves. I think my current plan is to go ahead and save up for a Sten, unless I see a Petzl Duo on some sort of super-sale somewhere. -Mallory
