I'll toss in my recommendation for the Sandroff Canister!

Canister Dimensions: 8.5” (high) X 3.5” (diameter)

Material & color: Black Delrin, machined from a solid Delrin rod

Weight: with Battery Pack: 5 lbs

Buoyancy with Battery Pack: - 1.75 lbs

Hardware: screws, pipe clamps, latches are Stainless Steel.
Compression fittings for light head cable are SS and chrome steel.

Pressure tested to 555 ffw.

Battery Pack
20 - 4.5 amp hour 4/3 Fat A, Sanyo NiMH Cells, wired as two strings of
10 (in series) in parallel

Nominal voltage: 12 volts

Current capacity: 9 amp hours

Burn time: Using an 21 Watt, HID Light Head, between 3.5 and 4 hours.

Note the improved strain relief compression fitting which is now incorporated on both the canister and the lighthead.

Add to this an EKPP reflector and a Goodman handle and you'll have yourself a killer light. I love mine!

How much do his lights run?

Mine was a little less than $1100 - not including the Goodman handle or the EKPP reflector but I don't know how much Howard is currently charging.

I have been very pleased with the 21w HID from Howard. He builds the light using a lighthead from Divelightman. Howard was very responsive to a few changes that I wanted.

Thanks for the comments. I see that most favourites are 'Halcyon' type (original, clone, or derived) lights. I will have to look closely between the different types and decide.
