Powered by four AA batteries, this water-resistant headlamp includes spare bulbs inside the directional (up/down) housing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Petzl E68 Duo LED Headlamp, October 7, 2003

I'v been on 2 marathons so far since buying this headlamp, and it is the first to, not only stand up to, but excell at the harsh conditions anything that goes along on one of my night time uphill endurance WC marathons has to. Just that would make it worth it. But it also has an on/off switch lock for not accidentally switching on in your pack and draining your batterys. I'v tried countless headlamps and this is by far the undisputed best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never left me in a dark cave!, July 17, 2003

I just LOVE this lamp!

It is powerful, very bright, can be used as a flood or spot light and takes the harsh conditions of being clunked, bumped, rattled and jarred in a cave. Most I have used seem a little tempermental when injured.

I hit it pretty good one time when I stood up about an inch to soon and smacked the helmet on the roof of the cave, me so bad!! My cohort that day looked at the light, it got scratched too when it was also whacked on the roof, since it is attached to my helmet. The lense and case each had pretty decent war wounds, but this baby is like a Timex, it kept on ticking.

It is also waterproof, unlike the other 2 I had prior to this one. Washed it off in the creek, and it stayed lit! It was with me when I was walking through a little waterfall one time and this lamp was unfazed.

After wearing it one time, I removed it so I could clean the lense well. I put it in a duffle bag, that since has disappeared, I guess it got mistaken for someone elses stuff. Had my best lights and caving gear in that bag. ;(

I need to purchase another, though this one is pricey, it is worth the investment. It never left me in the dark.

I have been using this product for many years. It works great, the LED light works good for close up work and the batteries last a long time. The incadecent bulb is good for long distance. I use this in place of a flashlight around the house frequently and do not know how I survived without one.
