I got the wide and use it as primary. Cold water diving, works really well. Used it during my night dive and it was perfectly fine. Used it during the day deep dive, same deal. No problems at all. I was looking for a wide angle, small light and after reading about this one, gave it a shot. Really happy with the way it works so far, and it's really sturdy light. You can drop this thing from few feet height and it will not break, well mine didn't at least.
Only downer are the batteries it uses. CR123 can be expensive since they are primarily used for photography, but you can find websites that have them for really cheap, or even use eBay.

Has anyone used the wide as a primary for tropical reef diving? My LDS is recommending it... I was looking at a UK D8, but if this does the same job with the smaller size (and cheap rechargeable batteries) and comparable price... I think it's a winner!
