Mick, as a point of interest, I use a Powell & Hanmer acetylyne front and a P&H oil rear light on my Granby. I bought the carbide mail order from a caving supplies shop in Derbyshire! The seal on the front lamp is getting perished, so iof you hear reports of a fireball in Dorset, you'll know what's happened...
