I am looking for opinions on the Black Diamond Soliras light as I have little knowledge of their positives and negatives. Such as, but not limited to, the following:
How does the xenon bulb compare to a 1 or 3 watt LED?
How effective are the 2 LED's for area lighting? Is it like a Tikka Plus on
low,or better?
Are the 2 LED's even effective on the low setting?
Is the Lithium - Ion battery worth the extra cost?
The use of the light would be for a primary caving light for up to 10 hour trips. The caves are primarily dry, with occasional mud. Additionally, it would be used for hiking between vehicle and cave entrances at night with hikes up to 1 hour. Basically, is this light worth the money or would another light be better, keeping cost in mind. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
