Cool. What part of the world are those caves in?

Did you have to bring a giant waterproof bag full of spare cells?

Cool pics! But I'm not convinced you have enough lights there! (seriously...)

so basically what's extreme about these is simply using them underwater? there are so many other luxeon lights that are dive rated or waterproof at half the price...

For my part I would call cave diving extreme.
And he said extreme use not abuse.

Nice pics!

No one ever said everyone has a need for a Barbolight. In fact, people have said exactly the opposite. The best is never inexpensive. For land torches, it could be argued that Surefire gets the honor. For water, i'd say Barbolight and Tektite.

That hears very interesting, so please show us a few which are comparable to Barbolights.

Best regards

I'd say cave diving is one of the more extreme applications for flashlights. Underwater, often very cold temperatures, rough treatment (rock contact guaranteed :)) ... What would you call extreme use?

Re: Extreme use of flashlights,with PICs.POST YOURS!

Whilst the Fliklite was Current I enjoyed a little bit of extreme punishments (The Fliklite that is :crackup: )
1st Pic the M@g did not do to well under the Russian T64 Tank, The Flik still worked although a little scared. Bear in mind the 1st Fliklites had a wall thickness of 7mm. I have a movie somewhere :thinking:
2nd Pic Again due to wall thickness FLik could with stand heat well.
3rd Pic Flik was the only light I can thing of that you could turn on & off whilst frozen in a block of ice. Use Full Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't done anything too extreme, but lots of lights in my collection have pretty hairy pasts. Frequently involving attitude adjustment and personality correction, plus a high speed chase or two.

Re: Extreme use of flashlights,with PICs.POST YOURS!

Noto en algunos comentarios puestos por ciertos individuos envidia, primero por no poder estar alli... A mi parecer, y tambien por no poder tener para comprar esas costosas linternas... la envidia mata... pobre de ellos...

Men cool pics, thanks for share that incredible experience... i hope to have this opportunity...

Before some one asking me what i say in spanish...

I notice in some commentaries put by certain individuals envies, first by not being able to be there... To my to seem, and also by not being able to have to buy those expensive lanterns... envies poor bush... of them...
Peace...
