New Wisdom cap lamps (designed for the harsh and safety-critical underground conditions of the Chinese coal mining industry) are the ideal lighting solution for caving (speleology), mine exploration and underground services inspection. Robust, portable and lightweight, with traditionally-favoured through-the-headset charging, they feature an incredibly small maintenance-free rechargeable lithium ion (Li-ion) battery in a solid, impact-resistant anti-static housing. The primary light source of the best-selling KL5M caving headlamp is a powerful 1W ultra bright white LED, with 2 brightness levels (1W for main beam, 0.4W for pilot beam). Brighter than previous models, with up to 16+ hours burn time (main beam - depending on model) and up to 40 hours (pilot beam). The headset, cable and battery total a miserly 600g in weight. The performance of these lamps is outstanding, and we believe they represent exceptional value for money.

"Your promises that I would be pleased with my new cap lamp have been fulfilled. I switched it on "straight from the box" and it ran for just over 16 hours before blinking. It charged up in under 6 hours. It will illuminate a tree 90 feet away (dark branches, no foliage). I haven't had a chance to take it underground yet, but I'm sure it'll knock the spots off my Edison. So, a very big "thankyou" for a superb product backed up by helpful, friendly and efficient service."
Mike M, Newcastle (KL5M lamp and NWB-15 charger set)

The KL5M and KL8M LED headlights provide a bright, reliable source of lighting for caving (speleology) and mine exploration and are water resistant to 1.5 atmospheres (15 metres). They are also ideal inspection lamps, eg for inspecting drains, sewers and railway or other tunnels. The Lithium-ion battery pack is both compact and lightweight, and fits snugly onto a standard 40mm wide battery belt or tucks neatly into an oversuit or boiler suit pocket. The main light source of the KL5M lamp, a 1W ultra bright white LED mounted within a robust headset, gives an impressively bright, focussed beam that truly outshines its competitors. The KL8M lamp has an even brighter, pure white 1.5W main beam. A new safety feature of both these headlamps is that when battery charge is running low (approximately 1 hour's usage remaining on main beam, several hours for the pilot light) the LED gives a warning flash at regular intervals, whilst still remaining perfectly usable.

The new KL8M cap lamp, whilst essentially having the same appearance (and overall size and weight) as the KL5M lamp, is around 50% brighter, with a 1.5W main LED (230 Lumen as opposed to 150 Lumen for the KL5M). Sporting a powerful 8.8Ah battery, this ensures the KL8M lamp remains fully functional for 16+ hours, with no loss of light quality, before requiring a recharge. The KL8M cap lamp is supplied with a fast charger which comes with a car cigarette lighter charger accessory as standard.
