So this brings up a point in using HID lights in caving.....you will have to be mindful in not blinding your buddy. SInce caving lights are worn on the helmet and you are often looknig at your fellow cavers. In cave diving this is easy to avoid, as we use light signals, shining the light away from your buddy, or point the light at your hand when doing hand signals. I can imagine you could do some damage to your fellow cavers eyes if you continue to blind them during a trip.
