First I have to say I HATE this brand. They are super rude, spamming FB groups an forums.
Saying that, I see 4 main problems with the light:
1. No option to replace batteries during a trip. When running out of juice you have to recharge it at home.
2. No option to replace batteries when cells are getting old, you have to buy a new light.
3. It is not balanced, 2 cells + lamp on the front and no weight on the back of the helmet.
4. No Flood beam only tight Spot
Ignoring all these disadvantages, the light is very durable and waterproof
No disrespect but you are missing the whole point relative to these lamps.
They are not lamps designed for caving or recreational mine exploration but lamps designed for use in working mines..
Re the Oldham D16, this again fits into this category. You buy an expensive lamp for what it is basically for a whole cartload of certification which is US to you, the headset heatsink is nickel to avoid the use of any aluminium which is would prevent full coal mine certification, as I understand it, if someone else wants to come in on this elaborate, they welcome. I am not the expert on the D16.
