ArmyTek have a great reputation for producing solid, well supported and good value-for-money caving headlamps. As well as their popularity among cavers on the continent, they also have established contracts with military and police forces around the world due to their reliability and ruggedness.
The Wizard C2 is their entry-level main beam, with a light output and battery life suitable for most standard UK caving trips. Coupled with spare batteries it'd also be suitable for bigger expeditions, although you might want to consider higher models with bigger battery life.
With IP68-rated protection and a 10m submersion depth and 10m fall protection, you can be sure it'll survive pretty much anything a cave can throw at it. The magnetic charging system allows you effortlessly throw your helmet at it after a trip.
ArmyTek also cover their lamps with a 10 year manufacturer's warranty. If your lamp develops a fault within 10 years from purchase, get in touch with them and provide your order confirmation to prove purchase, and they'll arrange for repair or replacement of it - great peace of mind in a world of throwaway electronics.
