Yep, bought this light for Cheng, and since she was out of town when it arrived I took it for a test dive. Most impressive ... at depth, where the ambient light was low, it compared favorably to Lynne's Salvo 21W. Nice tight beam, definitely a great light for low vis conditions.TSandM:NWGratefulDiver was diving with me Sunday, using a new Salvo 10W HID, and it was lovely. The lighthead was tiny -- I mean TINY -- and the battery canister was slim and short. It uses the same Brightstar bulb as the other Salvos, which is not fragile. I don't know what the battery burn time is on it, but it lasted our almost 70 minute dive in cold water. I think Bob said it was $570 through our local Salvo dealer.
It's a tiny thing, and very lightweight. I think it'll pack nicely for travel. If it was mine, I'd opt for the goodman handle ... but Cheng likes the little stretchy hand-strap, so that's what I got.
FWIW - this is NOT the same light as the Salvo-made Sea Elite.
