New 500 LED cannister

[buddhasummer]

I note in Australia DR has released a 500 Lumen cannister light, can anyone advise when its expected to be released in the US?

There is some info and pictures on it posted in a light thread by almitywife under the heading "my Valentines pressie a new light...now what???"

It is available right now - $360 for the 500 lumen LED as a handheld and $475 for it as a canister (which can be converted back to a handheld in a couple of minutes). Your local DR dealer should have it in stock.

Hi Kathleen,

You are mistaken Im afraid, please check out the thread I make reference to in my OP and look at the photos it is not the one currently on your website hence my reference to ASustralia only..., the light is a real cannister LED not the corded one you speak of and I already own.

I look forward to hearing from again after you have checked it out.

Here you go ... http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/lights/220962-my-valentine-day-pressie-new-light-now-what.html ..this looks like a true cannister light

I does look different than the one from your site .. SCUBA Diving Equipment and gear for Technical, Wreck and Cave Diving: Dive Rite, Inc - Product Catalog - LED 500 Corded Flashlight ... this is a "corded" adaptation of the hand held light

BINGO I own the one handheld LED 500 on the DR website with the added "cansiter" and the one on that thread is most definately different. Thanks for posting the link to that thread Im a computer idiot...actually bit of an idiot all around

That is not a product Dive Rite sales. It is two different things, I believe they took the Corded LED head and put it on a canister from the HID canister lights. I am a DR dealer and we have not gotten any news about this so I think is was put together. Kathleen would know best she is the marketing director for Dive Rite.
Also are you sure you have the 500 LED they just came out in the last month, cause I got my 300 LED order at DEMA and got it in Late DEC and then this one came out.
