If today's diver, with no idea of how far down a tec / wreck / cave path s/he might go, wanted a light, would you recommend
a - go to a can light right away so you are used to it and have it from the beginning or
b - go to one of the handhelds that would serve well now and serve well as a backup later?
the primary light's function is to allow me to see the cave. The backup light's function is to allow me to see the line. Chances are, if I need to use my backup to exit I am not nearly as worried about it being bright as I am worried about it being bulletproof, and it lasting for my entire exit time.
A primary light failure is an inconvenience. A backup light failure could be catastrophic depending on circumstances.
