Hey! This forum seems to have died down a bit.

Through the years I've always used a cheapo get-4-of-them-for-a-dollar-type AA headlamp that was always falling off its headband (and used a Fenix TK40 flashlight and a brass carbide lamp as my "real" lights). I might finally be in a position to get a decent headlamp too. What's the current state of the flashlight/headlamp business? Any enthusiasts got any heads-ups to something that wouldn't necessarily be the top result on Amazon? I think it was because of this forum that I once got a quite nice flashlight that was a special limited run from a smaller company or something.

Probably gonna be using this for caving and not just draining.
It's probably gonna go on a caving helmet.
If that matters at all.

I've had a Petzl Tactikka for ages now. Good headlamp with a red filter to not alert security services, and to not blow out your eyes.
