I'm not going to get involved in the debate about what is right here, but I was not aware that this was a common problem. What did people do before LEDs were invented, or in Europe where carbide is still very popular? Just suffer through it? Not become cavers?

FWIW, carbide has largely gone the way of the dinosaurs in Europe. After all there are Scurions, Rude Noras, Custom Duo modules for Petzl Duos, etc. etc.

I can't stand this forum and most of the people in it because they only read what they wish, single out sections they want to pick on others, all the while attention whores must post their topics to gain comments personal satisfaction! I hate you, and you, and you, and you! I have better things to do (like go caving) than to read topics written by people who have such pitiful lives that they must remain on the computer biting their nails waiting on the next conflicting post! It is very disappointing.

Thanks for contributing to the topic! Oh wait, you didn't... If you have better things to do, why did you even bother posting to say you can't stand the forum? Hypocrisy abounds!
(Oh dear, I suppose this means I'm bashing you for bashing people who are bashing other people? Such a vicious cycle.)

When I and most people have conversations the "topics" can go from spectator sports to beer to caving to politics to the opposite sex ect. Where is the crime?? I do not know, I just sort of file it under human nature.
