Hi all
My DR HP50 died last weekend. The led actually blew up. Took it apart and the led is cracked and missing the piece in the center.
I have ordered a new led and board to solder in but even if it works again, I wouldn't trust it as my primary, thus it will be relegated to be a backup (if it works again).
I think I have decided on a new UWLD LD40 as a new primary light, but I can't decide between the small or the tall battery canister.
I won't need the extra burn time of the tall, but then again, I guess it wouldn't hurt.
If anyone has experience with both of these canisters. How much of a difference is there between them?
Will I get annoyed by the extra bulk of the tall one or should I just go for it (buy once, cry once)?
I am only diving warm water so will not have to connect any heater.
My dives (currently) doesn't go over 1,5-2 hours (including deco) so the burn time of the small should be plenty.
But then again, the cost difference between them isn't significant so...
I'm thorn, please help me decide.
