certain that this is currently the best value for a flashlight sold> at retail
stores.> > It is very bright and rugged. It is lightweight and small enough to>
easily carry in your cave pack or strapped to the side of your helmet.> It is
very water-resistant, but I wouldn't dunk it too deep.> > You wouldn't need a
light like this in Airmans. But it would be suitable> for large wet cave like
Grutas de Carrizal.> > Having one of these mounted on each side of your helmet
would probably light> up most borehole passages that you are going to encounter
on a> regular caving trip.> > > On a related note,> > Pelican has upgraded a
similar flashlight - the 2370.> They moved the switch to the tail, giving it
the capability to temporarily> shine while pressing the switch. But this light
is twice the cost of> the Energizer light above, and larger and heavier. It
also uses> 3 batteries - the CR123 type. You can find both the new 2370 and
the> old 2370 at Fry's for around $ 55.00> > In my opinion, you can find a much
better flashlight on-line, but the cost> will be anywhere from $ 100 to $ 200.>
