I'm a serious caver, living in a cold climate, and this light is my best answer to date! Outshines the Petzls my buddies use, and outruns them on batteries too! With the option of using four AA's on my helmet and getting a rated 200 hours of burn-time, or, in colder, winter caving conditions, using the (comes with it!) four C-cell belt/pocket box for a 300% longer burn-time, it's great. On the downside, it's a pricey light with a somewhat lightweight single pivot and a button that's a bit hard to push, esp. with gloves on. But it comes with a life-time guarantee, is very light on the head, and has a confirmed 200 foot reach, which is awesome!
