How often do you turn on your backups?

I am doing my cave training in Mexico next week (I baught the Barbolight about two months ago) I so I anticipate doing it rather a lot. Obviously not so in normal diving conditions but the course was in my mind at the time.

There was also the point that I have confidence in a LED torch just working when i switch it on. Theres a moment of doubt every time i turn on the HID

.

The bulb or the ballast could have been damaged whilst not in use so the only way to test would be turn it on and off before the dive. An act in its self that can damage it....

You see my quandary
