graham said:Agree with Chris. Your description of its use would hardly count as caving. I won't speculate on the cause of failure but it would seem to have little to do with caving as such.
No - his use was far less arduous/wet/tough/brutal/demanding/harsh than caving.
so you logic is not fit for waking in the rain - therefore perfectly good for regular caving use
cap 'n chris said:Beg to differ: you cite three caving trips. Your description of the MYO failure also sounds like it had got wet while in use and you had not dried it out.
MYOs with several hundred caving trips including sump dives (although the light is not supposed to be waterproof) are still going strong: the secret? - dry them out afterwards.
yer - I love having to fanny about dismantling and drying my lights out after every trip to prevent them from completly fucking up.
( oh hang on - I use a waterproof one - which means I dont have to bother with the faff)
jeez :
