Its been done on 3 LED's!!! and no not by me
This surely illustrates a point that I have always made about LED's.
Yes they work, yes they are lightweight and yes they last a phenomenal amount of time. Perfect if you want to bosh around a cave, only seeing what is in front of you in a pale lifeless glow.
One of my best caving memories is looking out from the Eagles Nest at the top of Hurricane in the Gouffre Berger. The stream was thundering down the pitch and a wind howled around the huge chamber below.
All of this was warmly lit by my carbide, spitting and hissing as it fought to stay lit, the flame sparkling in water droplets that whirled around in front of me. Awesome!
I don't think that it would have been quite the same if I had three LED's strapped to my helmet!
