I'm a big fan of using a headlamp with at least a pair of LEDs for moving around caves in the dark. Like the title of the topic says, it's now something I "look for in a headlamp" ever since I first tried an Apex 3 years ago. My current headlamp is a fabricated one with a 3W spot and 3W flood LED, retrofitted into the body of an old Petzl Duo. It was designed and constructed by another of our forum members, with some small tweaks added by me. It uses regular alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries (yay!) and has a similar beam to the Sten but is a little brighter than the original Sten. Unfortunately it only has a high and max setting, so battery life is OK but not great. But maybe it will inspire me to experiment with further designs in the future.
