Marduke, I am glad to see that you got a custom duo. I have been banging that drum for a long time on this forum. I have always felt the duo was ( and still is) one of the best caving lights.Is it as good as a 375 dollar sten or other high end lights? No, but I know alot of people were using a Duo then figured out it was not bright enough and set them aside and got a brighter apex. These people ended up with a brighter light but I feel a light not as cave worthy as a duo.If you already own the duo all you have to do is get a custom duo and you have a cave worthy light that was made for caving from the drawing board up with a current generation efficient (much more so than the apex) cree bulb. I knew sooner or later someone would come out with a modern bulb for the duo. My custom duo goes to 340 lumen with eneloops and with regular duracell goes as bright as the Fennix HP-10.BUT, this custom duo gives you spot and glow at the same time, with the apex you get one or the other.With the HP-10 you get just the spot, with the CD1003 you get the spot and glow on one side with the CD insert plus can also have the 3 settings on the other 14 insert ( that most of you already have) on the other side of the light .What that means is some redundancy that you cannot get with any other light I am aware of at any price. I like most people already had the duo and the 14 insert so I spent about 80 bucks and kept the other 300 in my pocket.Marduke wrote:Petzl Duo modified with "Custom Duo" dropins, which are totally awesome BTW. I've modified five other friends' Duo's after having seen mine. I recently upgraded mine to a neutral tint for increased awesomeness.
