Thanks for that Sinker, I thought I was losing it!!, my second one came from a charity shop who could not work out what it was worth ---£2.00!! - and I had to bid them UP to that :)

Yours is like mine...the better design in my opinion. Belt or helmet mount, you can take up the slack in the cable by winding it around the grooves in the battery box. 99.99999% waterproof in my experience. The older type has a "flattish" 4.5v battery similar to old-fashioned doorbell batteries. Showing my age.... ::)

Yes mine is an older type with the naff battery box. But for the girlfriend who occasionally comes and just needs something reliable it will do the job 😉

I am going to look into getting an oldham lamp for myself or a duo. I want something with mega brightness and a decent battery set

If you are looking at the self build route I can sort you out with an Oldham headshell and cable
