Just when you thought they built the perfect headlamp, somebody else comes along with something else.
Here is a fuel-cell powered caver head-lamp. http://www.fair-pr.com/hm05/images/exhibitors/paxi06.jpg The guy wearing the helmet on the left is the president of the manufacturer - Paxitech of France http://www.paxitech.com/headPAC.jpg I believe the Paxitech fuel-cells are supposed to last 3 times longer than a lithium-ion battery. I have no idea what they will cost, but I imagine that few cavers will be able to afford them. Imagine a Stenlight S7 with fuel-cell batteries. You could stay underground in Cheve for a week on just one charge. Right?
