ActionStash Caving Headlamp & Battery

  • In Stock
  • £34.99


Our affordable caving headlamp. Featuring 5 variable brightness levels for maximising your battery life, and a turbo mode which will light large chambers as brightly as (or brighter than!) the top brands and paired with the included top of the range KeepPower battery, these caving headlights pack a real punch for the price.

We used to use these as a low cost backup lamp, but now use them as our main lamp too due to the bright and and even beam (and Turbo mode makes for great photography). They're just as rugged as the established brands for a regular battering in a cave environment.

A built-in USB-C port (protected by a screw-up cover to keep dirt and dampness out) allows you to charge the light without removing the battery (charging cable included). Battery life is around 12 hours in medium brightness mode, and 70+ hours on the lowest brightness (which is still bright enough to cave by). And no, those aren't manufacturer-exaggerated figures, that's from our own tests - most times 75 hours was reached. The high-quality KeepPower 18650 battery included has a large capacity of 3800 mAh, and can easily be replaced. 

See the run-time table below for battery life with the included battery. It's not ideal for extended submersion underwater or multi-day expedition use (and you should always carry a spare battery, and indeed a backup light, as per standard caving recommendations!), but if you're regularly doing those sort of trips you'll undoubtedly already have a top-end lamp anyway!

Questions & Answers

Answer: Of course, we only sell cave-suitable lighting! As a minimum they will survive drops and temporary immersion in water, some will also handle extended immersion at depth. IP66 should be the minimum to consider for caving, IP68 will see you through any normal caving abuse.
Answer: Charging is built-in on this lamp, using the provided cable.
Answer: This is suitable for use as a main beam. Nothing to stop you using it as a backup light, of course, but there are lighter-weight backup lamps out there.
Answer: Yes, a battery is included with the product.
Answer: A lithium-ion 18650 battery.
Answer: We STRONGLY recommend not to! While this lamp does include some protection circuitry, the safety measures built into protected cells are much more reliable and can avoid other battery race conditions. In addition, the lower height of unprotected cells might make them incompatible with the battery compartment in this lamp. For the sake of a few pounds, it's surely worth avoiding a nasty chemical fire on your forehead deep underground!
