Another plug for Sandho.....

[Snowbear]

Just got my 18W HID back from Howard Sadroff after a major overhaul.... New cord, new battery, new switch, new strain reliefs.... Not cheap, but cheaper than a new light and I know I can rely on it again

I was planning to try it out on Saturday, but have to deal with frozen water pipes instead :17:

That's excellent - nothing like having a light that you KNOW will work. Its just one less thing to think about. I totally get that.

After like 4 years of diving can light, I had TWO floods in about 8 days. Not my finest hour to be sure. So I'm looking for batteries.

I contact Sandho - he has a batt. I PayPal him, its all good. Get this: He does TWO charge and burn test cycles on the batt. It passes the first, fails the second - so he contacts me and offers mountains of apologies, sends back my money and some lovely parting gifts "for my trouble."

So I'm seriously blown away by the guy. Totally a stand up man of high integrity. If his work and products are anything like his way of doing business, I'm confident the quality rules. I love the guy and we haven't even really transacted any commerce yet!

Glad your light is all good. I sure missed mine.

How come he didn't just make you a new batt? :06:

I said it before - he get's my kudos, too.

He is fast, polite, true to his word, and his lights are excellent. When I screwed up my light on it's 3rd(?) dive, he took excellent care of me.

Go ahead. Call him up. Ask him a question. He'll be your buddy on the phone until you insist you gotta' go.
