Best light on the market until it gets wet!! - Princeton Tec Apex Headlamp

This is the best illumination you can get. But it is not waterproof period. I have 4 of them none waterproof. Then I started using them for dry cave but after 3 month it ate the batteries in less than 15 min. Gets hot fast and trust me when i said do not get them wet do not get them wet because they will start turning of on the middle of your trip. Not a good experience especially is you are 400 ft HIGH rappel in a cave rappelling and the light goes off in the middle of it. Warranty is good but still you have to pay shipping to get them fix for something they advertise wrong this shouldn't be a IPX7. Is not even water resistant. If you visit dry places this is the best and most powerful lamp. But if you like to get wet do not buy this lamp. First one was damage from rain water second one from a 2 feet submersion and the others ones just got damage from waterfalls inside caves. My recommendation; Dry Caving this headlamps is the most powerfull but for water this is you worst selection!! Buy the black diamond icon. Im a professional caver/rescuer/tour guide with over 15 years of experience in caving and rescuing people in the most extreme environments you can imagine.
