I got mine at Lowe's for $24 or so. I must say, I Cannot IMAGINE a better unit for less than 30 bucks. My FIRST one (which I STILL use) has survived over 50 caves, and shows ZERO wear . I am actually still using the batteries that CAME with it. I even went back and got another one for my backup helmet. SUPER bright, and VERY light weight. The "Tilt head" could use just a touch more tilt, but aside from that, it's PERFECT. I even like it better than my caving partner's Petzl Duo (the older 12 led model).
It boast of its "Water RESISTANCE", but I have personally COMPLETELY submerged both of mine on SEVERAL occasions, and will attest, they are not water "resistant" these bad boys are WATER PROOF!!
Shockproof as well. During a short break, I recently dropped (or should I say KNOCKED) mine down a 30-40 ft rock wall . It bounced 5 or 6 times HARD, then came to rest pointing straight in my eyes, as if to say "You're gonna have to do worse than that ....... Is that all you got???" Must be the ALUMINUM housing?!
I know LED LEnser makes tactical hand-held "SWAT" style lights, as I have several, and I knew they MADE some headlamps, but this is my first time seeing/using one firsthand.
All in all, if you are familiar with their hand-helds, you will be happy to know, the head-lamps are every bit as much "worth the money "
Just thought I would spread the info.... CHEERS!!!!!
