Wanted - Headtorch for beginner ~ ?100

Hello cavers,

I'm new to caving and I would like to start building my own basic caving gear set.
I'm looking for a decent headtorch. Does anyone have something to sell in the ?100 range?

You can contact me by PM. Thank you

PS: I already have a helmet but I'm open to helmet+torch kit propositions

 
Cheap and basic is keep looking on eBay (shouldn't take long) and buy a second hand Petzl Duo (needs to be older one not the one with the squared light and leds) maybe you'll see one ?30? Keep looking they get bought very quickly

Then take out the bulbs and just push into the bulb holder a custom duo, the basic is ?25

Decide on a fancier light later after you've used the Duo for a while. The Duo does the job!
