Dorcy Dive II 220 Lumen

[bleach]

I think I will, thanks for the advice.

Piranha just advised that they received 180's instead of 220's. Will be able to ship the 220's next month. Too bad my anual dive trip is before then. Anyone know if Dorcy got the right ones?

I got the same message from Dorcy Direct.

Tried to preorder the Dive II 220 from dorcy direct, but they price at $64 with the discount and no freebies wtf! Piranha dive manufacturing doesn't have the 220 lumen version under its hot deals either!!! is it too late to get the $44 deal? does anybody know a site advertising this anymore?!

i saw this thread, got real excited for a chance to use up a $50 gift card from xmas ... no dice >_<

I think even for $64 it's still a solid light. I have the first version and ordered the second. It's still a good buy.

Of course, you can't buy one today even at $64, to my knowledge. These things (220) aren't shipping from anywhere yet, unless I've missed something.

I wonder why the long lead time? The 220 lumen XR-E Q5 bin emitters have been around for quite a while. I'm surprised they don't go with the XP-G R5 at 325 lumens as they have been out now long enough to start making it into lights.

I'm also wondering why major dive light makers like UK, Princeton Tech, Ikelite aren't constantly updating the LEDs in their lights to give us more light.

I don't know the answer of course but the bigger the company the more old stock on hand to use up first. In some cases it could also mean the expense of testing every time there is a product change (ISO 9000 standards or something similar).

I think it's just the expense that change incurs in any larger company.

Smaller companies should be more adaptable.
