Cave lights? The holy carbide lamp comes to mind. They were the very best and they added excitement to caving because they could explode and you could use them to muck up walls with soot. There was one called the fool light, which was a huge carbide light that had a huge reflector. And there is the old ceiling burner. I always used matches to find my way and a candle on a stick. Cave Carson and Karst Walker recommended. Sort of a caver Betty Crocker. I always read the reviews written by Bockbeer.
