I would imagine that anyone who previously used a Triton Longwang light, or its Xeccon clone would've had similar experiences...

Archon lights:

A discussion of both lights (initially the Triton then the Archon) can be seen in this external thread. LINK.

Yes I just bought one and used it in Cozumel. It is incredible! On a night dive I was drifting along about 10 feet above the bottom. On full power it simply lights up the bottom. I looked over my shoulder and there was eight other divers hovering around me using my light. At medium setting (5,000 lumens) it's a phenomenal video light. Bright white light. No hot spot and 120 degrees of coverage. I thought my Ikelite Pro Video 100 watt light was bright but doesn't hold a candle (no pun intended) to this 10,000 lumen beast.

I have one of these lights. Incredible!! My dive buddy has one too. Unfortunately his light got turned on while it was in its carrying case. The polycarbonate lens melted some of the foam padding into the lens. I know an experienced Acrylic polisher and it was his opinion that the lens melted into itself a little and even if he polished off the foam it probably wouldn't be repaired. He suggested replacing it. So we're looking for a replacement lens. Also, I'd like to be able to buy some more O-rings as these will eventually stretch or tear. Anybody out there know where I can get replacement parts??
