They were unveiled at the Hidden Earth conference.

I was hanging around/helping out at Bif's stand and ended up doing a fair number of demos to people. There was a lot of interest, and the feedback was pretty universally positive.

I think Bif's busy getting the website stuff sorted out today/tomorrow, and I imagine he'll be posting here soon.

Thanks for buying me a couple of hours Dave, and thanks even more for all the help at the weekend. Im not sure I would have coped if you, Laura and Lou hadn't pitched in. Im about bust at mo, but Ive managed to stick a quick photo tour on the web, and Ill set about getting some technical / performance stuff, and pricing live over the next couple of days.

Wow! And for the low price of 280USD?!?!? I'll Def get one!


^ Ok, That was wishful thinking....

She is beauty Bif! Really more than I was expecting! I knew this incarnation was going to be a game-changer, and I think Rude Nora will be just that in the caving community. I think that your best option would be to send me one so that I can demo it to others here in the U.S. and therefore pay for it through advertising. It would be a lot of hard work; having to go to ALL the caving events and being forced to cave all day with a stellar lamp then drink moonshine in the evenings, but I think I would pull through.

280usd!!!!


You nearly gave me a heart attack. I wish! For that price I wouldn't hesitate to buy one asap. I have a feeling it will be closer to $400usd which will make me hesitate quite a bit :(

Looks like it will be around $600 USD for me when all is said and done. That crosses the piss off the wife threshold. I can afford it but I really don't want to piss her off that much. :shhh:

Yah but... I want neutral tint, AA battery holder, and some other stuff, plus shipping and insurance. No doubt bif isnt getting rich off this. It's just a little hard to impulse buy just because I want it.
