Need a new light: Dive Rite LED LUX, H1000 or another light?

[zimm17]

My old MR11 dive rite HID is beyond repair. Dive Rite is willing to give me a nice price break on a new LED LUX or H1000 light. Or should I look at something else?

I'm a day recreational diver with the occasional night dive. No caving. I'm leaning towards the LED because it's more durable- my gear takes a beating on dive boats. Plus I can turn it on and off whenever I want and not worry about HID bulb life cycles.

Hi I have a diverite LED 500 flashlight for sale. Brand new I would like $275usd plus shipping.

When you say beyond repair what do you mean? Is the can or head leaking? If not it can be rebuilt with new parts. e.g. LED and Li Ion batteries.

If you dont want to do this I may be interested in buying it off you if the price is right.

Well the head is fine, but it's an old MR11 head that can't be upgraded to the LED. Also the canister is an old "stealth dive" design from DJS back in 2000. They quit making them and it would probably take a custom battery pack to fit in the canister. Basically dive rite won't work on it since it's not their canister, but since the light head is theirs, they're offering a "trade-in" hense the great price if I get a new one.

How much is the trade in value?

Do you still have the LED500 available? Where are you located?
