I'm going to purchase a Can light in the near future. I'm upgrading from a light cannon so I'm not a total noob when it comes to HID. I've done some research and would like some input from the old salts on here. I was at Our World Underwater and got to see the Halcyon and Green force lights and was very impressed with the robust designs. I'll be doing a great deal of wreck diving in the lakes and some ocean stuff.
I want a light to be reliable more than anything else, I'll be doing deco dives inside wrecks and some caves in the near future and I consider this a piece of life support equipment.
-Slimline design, 3-4 hour burntime
-I'm thinking a 10w bulb is enough but I wouldn't balk at more.
-It needs to be a robust design that can take a hit (within reason) and still work.
-A positive switch that I can tell is on or not by switch position using touch.
-Smaller head design that won't get in the way.
-Comfy Goodman handle.
-The components shouldn't flood if the wire gets nicked.
-I don't mind paying for quality.
-A manufacturer who stands behind their product.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, manufacturers are welcome to post and explain the strengths of their products and even offer demo model to me!
