Looking for advice on a dive light:

Primary use would be spotting critters in holes and under ledges during the day, but I want one that could also be used as a primary for the occasional night dive in clear water. It needs to fit in a BC pocket, and I prefer Halogen/Xenon due to cost and performance but would consider other types.

Just bought an Ikelite C-Lite 8 Halogen that I'm planning on doing double duty as a boat spot light, and a primary dive light if I want something really bright. I would normally prefer to use something smaller though.

I'm considering the following Halogen/Xenon lights:

UK SL4
Ikelite PCA
Ikelite PC
Princeton Tec Torrent - (wife has one of these)

Which one of these would fit my needs the best, and are there any others I should consider in the same price range that would perform better?

Thanks,

Mark
 
Check this one out- great for poking under rocks etc in the daytime, plenty bright at night, but might have too tight a beam for you. cree LED
