I think I'll be saving up for one of these: the upgraded LXII version that is. I emailed Silva about the reliability problems with the LX. This is what I asked them:

"Hi. I was thinking of buying one of these headtorches, but I have come across a number of references in UK forums to reliability problems, in particular the wires to the battery pack failing. None of these references mention LX II, just LX. Can you please let me know whether there has been any redesign in the LX II to address this problem? Thank you."

...and this is what I got back:

"The problem regarding the contact on the LX headlamp has been resolved and is no longer an issue. The connector has been resourced and improved for the LX II lamp, as well as the lens having been improved to display a wider beam."
