I do not know where to buy it in your country, but you can buy it here:

And if you might be interested in a Hand Held... I've got coming - some 21 watt rechargable hand held that are about the size of a 4 D cell light - over 2 hours burn time - and they'll be about $299... Pretty cool for hand held.

Larry, any update on these?

I just called Scuba Toys and they didn't have any information on them. I did a search online though and found the link below.

At $299, it's $100 cheaper than the price quoted by the distributors (Kalex Outdoor Equipments Co. d/b/a www.hidextra.com).

Highly tempting. My questions are when will the 24w be available and how do you get both reflectors? I hope Larry will be carrying them like he had hoped.

Hi,

the lights are available since beginning of last November. If Larry does not have them, then he has not ordered them. I sell them in Germany for nearly 4 months now.

for the darkbuster, is there any negative comments so far, from anyone?

BTW, Barry's lights (Salvo) use the "indestructible" Brightstar bulb also. I'm told you can bang it, hot strike it, turn it on and right off... whatever. It has a little yellower look to it.

My 21w cost a little more than $299.00, though....

In US I heard the Salvo light 21/24W light, then when I am travelling in Asia, I found this Darkbuster and I chatted with the LDS, it's the OEM thing. Remember the Salvo light used to be $300. If you look at the handle and everything, it's the same. The light is owned by a TW company (as some of you are using WA or BS HID bulbs, this is the BrightStar company) and the light is made in China. The reason why it cannot be sold in US is because Salvo is the wholeseller in US. The retail price in Asia is still around $300.

Please refer back to the all the old Salvo threads in this forum.... they are the same light.
