Stenlights are good reliable lamps except for the plugs which are appalling. But you would only have to wrap it in tape.
It was possibly the lightest lamp in production at 125 grams, better than my Dragon at 130 grams!

Indeed reliable lamps. I've used one for years before I handed it over to a young caver who was in need for a better light :)

But they are no longer the lightest lamps in their markert range. The caldera of stoots weighs only 45grams. (+ 100 gram for the battery). In my club a lot of the members use one.

I'm currently using a scurion 1500.

I was using my DistoX whilst wearing a RF lamp and it melted the case! Forget about surveying errors!  ;)

Mm. I bought an Imolent DX80, dont know why, but I did. It does output genuine 32,000 lumens on Turbo, been independently tested.

Came with a nice Velcro fastening flap top. I found a shoulder sling off something to carry it, very nice so far.

Only thing, didn't put the safety catch on properly, I smell burning! Nearly set myself on fire.
Now the case has a round hole in the top.
