4 CREE XRE LEDs bin R2 8300K giving 1800 lumens
LED's made on special order
providing a very narrow beam of light - around 6 degrees
color/intensity of light - cold white 7000 up to 9000K corresponding to HID

Controlling Electronics:
Convenient rotating magnetic switch located on the lamp head
controlled by a microprocessor
advanced step up / down converter

Light offers 2 types of work :
- 10% power or
- 100% power

Constant supervision over the LEDs' temperature

Charger:
Microprocessor charger fed from power 100-240V grid 50-60Hz

This is not accurate. Even the website doesn't advertise the lumen figures that you use. The website shows 1200 lumen output for this product not 1800 lumen. Why continue to post impossible figures?

The website numbers are inflated but yours are just made up.

Well, its not my intention to misuse the numbers, as history shows that we might push each other about the numbers forever, fact is when you dive and use the light you don't see the numbers coming out of the light so its good we have a bunch of honest movies showing excellent in water performance and comparison. Enjoy !

Have a great day !

So you are advocating making comparisons based on whimsical opinion that have no scientific basis rather than comparing actual measurable performance numbers? Just want to make sure we are clear. Does this thing have a racing stripe too that makes it better?

No, I don't , what I'm saying is that conversation doesn't go anywhere with you unles you will buy the light and measure them as we do ok? I have the light and I can physically measure the efficiency etc, you don't have it so your opinion is whimsical.
This is light introduction, so read it and either like or not but don't give me that accusation because something is telling me that you have different reason than just being curious to go bad about these lights.

Good luck,
TecDiveGear

You need an integrating sphere to measure lumen and I'm sure that you don't have one so you can't measure that either. I don't think anyone is trying to bad mouth these lights. You are causing all of the negative publicity yourself by making claims that the manufacturer doesn't even make.

Don't expect to announce a product with inaccurate information and then have no response to those claims.

I don't think anyone here has any ulterior motives. Just quit making false claims.
