Headlamp suggestions for youth caving (group buy)
Posted: Oct 15, 2007 11:09 pm
Here's the deal...
At work we do quite a bit of cave ecology programming complete with trips into nearby caves (God, I love my job sometimes!). Until I came last year we were using PT Auroras (3 LED) as primaries and any number of different configurations of backups.
Fast forward.
I think I'll be able to make a big purchase of new primary headlamps. I can get quite a deal from Princeton Tec through an educational buying offer - none of the other big companies will cut us a deal. I'm thinking of buying upwards of 30 headlamps in the price range of the Corona. The Apex is out, obviously.
Any suggestions? The Corona looks nice but I've not used one or even seen one in use.
These babies gotta run for the long term. Can't scare up replacement money that often.
