| | | Posted by Skich1137 I use a Cree headlamp that I ordered from ebay. I haven't had one bit of issues with it. Uses an 18650 rechargeable battery. I usually carry several, maybe 5. First time I went exploring I went draining with my fenix, it over heated and failed and that was my only light!! ended up using my phone until the battery went dead, the light cooled off enough to get us out of the drain. I've carried several light since then.
| A lesson well learned. We don't usually go underground with any less than 3 sources of light. Usually a few more. Which Fenix overheated on you? I have an HP10, have had three HP20's, and have two HP11's. The HP10 still works great. All three HP20's broke/died, and are a shit design. (makes me wonder why I kept buying more of them, money down the drain) The HP20's are awesome. I've used one of my HP20's at work every single day for over 6 months without any trouble so far. I use a clamp-on surefire diffuser on it, and it has never had any problems with overheating.

| I just realized after reading this post that after saying the HP20's were shit, I went on and said the HP20's are awesome. I meant HP11 the second time around, not HP20 again. HP20 = shit HP11 = awesome Just needed to clear that up. And its so true Apples! 100lm used to be crazy bright, now you can get it anywhere. Now its up into the thousands of lumens.

| | | For $76 you can get: Solarforce L2p flashlight platform, HA-III anodized A protected Li-ion rechargeable 18650 battery A 2-bay charger A 3 mode xml dropin 500lm max output with that dropin
But since it's a platform system, you can change to whatever kind of dropin you want, for whatever kind of light output, profile, intensity, or technology you want. With the same flashlight body you could run incandescent, IR, UV, halogen, or LED. And in the LED spectrum there's dozens and dozens of different types to choose from. All without having to purchase a new entire flashlight each time.
