Coast lights has a new headlamp called the HL46 sold at Lowe's for $30 plus tax.
It looks like the perfect newbie headlamp for those that want to start with something nice. I do not like the switches on their low end products, meaning this one. But it is compact enough for the average west Texas cave. It has good light settings, and water -resistant enough to take in humid passages. This lamp would be overkill for Travis County caves, and Enchanted Rock Cave. Disclaimer: I did not take it out of the package, but once owned the previous version. It includes 4 hardhat clips. My bet is one would most likely use the low setting while caving, and the high setting while hiking along the dark trail from the cave. David Locklear dlocklea...@gmail.com
