Terry,
I have a Mk1 or Mk2 diablo that she can borrow for the puffer if that is any use?
[edit] Exposure mount is 23mm diamiter, most of the DX ebay jobs are 25mm and a very very tight fit as they use removable batteries[/edit]
[edit2] that one in the pic looks a good option [/edit2]
Bruce - whats one of them cost all in once you add a batterys and charger ?
As per CK... Torch of your choice. I helmet mount mine with an old Joystick mount (needed a few wraps of electric tape to bulk it out), works enormously better than the best Joystick tbh (though a bit bulkier).
I use an XML torch because it's for road use, but for offroad I guess I'd go back to my old P7 torch instead. Total spend on either was about £20 including spare batteries a cheap nasty charger- doing it again, I'd spend a bit more on the charger.
(I rant a bit about this, but it's not so much that the Joystick is just a torch- though, it is. It's that it's a torch, with one of the best features of torches removed- no easily replaced battery. So you spend a lot extra for a downgrade)
Total was i think £26 for torch (£14!) charger and two batteries,
not had a meltdown yet with the charger! 🙂
Joystick helmet mount was £17
A great wee light and has been reliable 🙂
What about the Spark light?
