I am starting yet another thread, since my needs are a little more specific.
I already have a 3000 lumens non-canister video light on a Goodman handle with a wonderfully uniform wide beam that kicks ass when reef diving in clear waters, but does not seem to work too well for local PNW diving, and probably will not work for some upcoming GUE training, because the beam is probably too wide for signaling and creates a significant amount of backscatter in low-visibility conditions, not to mention that I tend to sometimes blind people around me with it.
I am looking for something to complement the above.
I had a dream, in which I was using a light system with a single canister with E/O cords, and multiple light heads with tighter and wider beams, LED or HID, and I could attach all these light heads to the same canister depending on the dive. I could even use a shorter or a longer cord, as needed. In my dream, I used the same, single canister, for 10 consecutive years, and just bought additional light heads whenever my needs changed, sometimes even from different manufacturers... and it would all just work.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Light Monkey 32W LED light or can recommend something else given the above parameters... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have.
