Have you dove this light? Does the beam have a flood or a spot pattern. how would it compare to a 10w HID. Do you have some beam shots. Thanks

Have you had many returns with this product flooding?

What is there a crenelated bezel and external fins (heat sinks) on a dive product?

According to manufacture specifications, run-time is approximately 1.5-2 hours on high and 3.5 hours on low. Thanks!

I'm not sure how it would compare to a 10W HID, but it's definitely bright! The light puts out 900 lumens with more of a flood beam. I'll try to come up with beam shots when I get the chance. Thanks!

I haven't had any returns whatsoever. The light is very efficient in terms of use and quality and will not flood as long as you keep it within the 100 meters limit. Thanks!

Interesting light. I'd like to hear from someone who has dove it...

I am chomping on the bit for this light as well. Just would like to hear from someone who has actually dove it. Light patterns would be very helpful as well.

I think if they were able to make the light in the link below water proof that they would put a lot of people out of business. Here is the down and dirty of the light....

I bought two of these from this vendor and my dive buddy had to use on as a primary light (his primary failed before starting the dive). It has a spot beam that is on par with dive rite led 700. Out of the water the beam appeared brighter than my LED 700. In the water the LED 700 had a bit more punch than this light. This light would work well as a primary (burn time would not allow you to dive it at full brightness for two dives) and it is an outstanding backup! We had a 75 minute run time and this light started to flicker at the end (batteries were giving out).

Definitely a good purchase.
