Ya, something like that. Maybe I was mistaken and it doesn't fit the dive standard one we all use.
Are can lights still necessary for non-cave tech diving?

The canister should also be part of the ballast, not something to carry on top of a properly weighted rig. So it is helping to offset the buoyancy of other gears. It is just a bit bigger than a 2lb lead but it serve another purpose.

I have yet to come across a canistered LED that is as bright or punchy as HID, not to mention a handheld LED. If one day, handheld LED is that good, I will seriously consider switching to cordless LED
You need a light if it gets dark. If you are lucky enough to have daylight at 100m/300ft then no, you don't need a light. In that case you need to replace the light signs with hand signs.
I do sump diving. That means 2000m of cave with 100m of diving. I would call this technical diving because of all the challenges caused my mud and underwater crawls. I do not however need can lights (the cord would get in the way). Instead I have helmet mounter lights suitable for dry caves.
