canister lights?

I like the fact it isn't explosive when mixed with sea water.

Li-Ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium.

They do not explode in salt water.

I choose NiMhbecause it offers great value

Li-Ion has nearly completely bridged the value gap with NiMH on a watthour basis...

I never said they did, I said that Ni Mh do not.

I am however more concerned with how it and Li Po burn in salt water and the pressures exerted on the canister when it does....

That said I am sure in the future I will be using these technologies more. Jut not in my first can light now.

yup, it is getting close.

My idea on my first can light is not to revolutionize but offer great value in a time tested package. That I will be doing.

Now you have me curious. Could you please go into a bit more detail about what chemical process you think is going on when Li-Ion/Li-Po (not exactly an either-or there...) batteries hits salt water versus NiMH ones? Having seen floods of each, I have a good sense of what happens. Just curious what you see the difference to be, since it appears you're basing business decisions on this difference.

Thanks.

I would be happy to test it out when you have some demo's :cool2:

Any updates on the canister light??

Time frame to availability?

I am looking to get a canister light but not sure I want HID vs. LED. Why HID? Aren't they more expensive?

As the dealers now know (info taken from your HID sale thread) can you spill the beans to the rest of us out here???

Pic, details and prices would be awesome!

My ears also pricked up when I read cerich's HID sale thread. I'm absolutely delighted to hear that HOG is making a canister light. I was very impressed with HOG's regs, so if HOG's can lights are of comparable value and quality, there will be some happy divers out there. Here's hoping that HOG will produce a 9-13W canister light...if so, rest assured you've already got your first customer!
