Looking Into Lights - Ideas?

[WreckDiver1321]

Alright so, I'm looking into buying a good primary light. I'm a college student, so money is slightly tight. What I'm looking for is a good, relatively powerful light that preferably comes with a Goodman-style handle so I can attach it to my hand.
Any ideas?

They're not cheap, but I love my Light Monkey 21 Watt Can Light.

Can't afford a can light. Think smaller/cheaper.

What will you be using it for?

I have an extra Halcyon 10watt HID (focusable) I'm willing to sell for $500 (paid $1000). I need to test it to confirm, but I think it could use a new NiMH battery.

As usual, I will check out all the details if you're interested. Price will include shipping.

I dive in slightly more murky waters, so a light does help. And, I'm big on the Great Lakes wrecks, which I manage to get to often. I'd like to have a light to peer into various crevices and what not. Eventually, wreck penetration is in my future, so until I can get the $ for a canister light, I need something a bit smaller and cheaper. What I've been looking at is the Big Blue CF-250 LED or something similar.

For wreck diving is not good backup light - it can be life threatening special in low visibility.
If you don't have money go DIY Dive Lighting or buy used lamp.

These can be hard to find, Photic SST-50 1200-Lumen LED Dive Light - Novae: Your #1 source for HID and LED flashlights!, and I am not a big fan of their magnetic switch. They do offer a big bang for the buck. The same light is marketed under a couple different names like Magicshine.

Here is a current Ebay auction, http://cgi.ebay.com/USA-1200-LM-SST...620?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1aab4e5c

I think the YPSILON is the light for your needs. Its a 1200 Lumen (SST-50) torche made in high quality (Made in Germany) with the possibility to upgrade to a small canister system.
Here you will find more information.
