It makes me wonder what lights are made for caving from the ground up. I could be wrong but I suspect many lights like the HP-10 and Apex and other reasonable priced lights are not really designed for caving. Think about it, there are not near as many cavers as their are fisherman , hunters, mountaineers and other outdoor types so why would a mfgr. design something to cater to our needs ?? Some people who do not get into lots of wet stuff may be able to use these lights for years with no problems. Sten is made for caving, so is The Rude Nora and I suspect Scurion is too . The Rude has been tested in sump diving and performed very well. Sten , Rude and Scurion all cost several hundred dollars ( or more) . Right now The Duo is the only cave light I am aware of that is designed from the drawing board up for caving by people who are familiar with real caving that does not cost several hundred dollars. Maybe Spark and Zebra will prove to be also, time will tell. Chad will put them to the test and we will see over time.
It only takes one person to surrender a dog to a kill shelter ,but it takes many to rescue it.
