I have the 12watt LED Rebel from Salvo and it throws plenty of light. In addition the 5 hour burn time and compact size mzke it great to travel with. But for the traveling I've done so far my Princeton Tec shockwave has been more than adequate and it would be alot easier to lose or have the airline baggage idiots mess up a 50 dollar light than my Salvo which retails for 700 plus! I didn't pay near that much but I don't know if I'd get the same deal on a replacement. And again if you are just bug hunting, general OW night diving, even in stuff with 10 feet of vis just how much light will you really need. If you're doing less than 50 dives a year where you'll need it why spend more than a couple hundred on lights? I just picked up a new backup LED from Dorcy. Aluminum body, smaller than my pelican saber lights and while the pelicans are around 70 lumens with good batts this is rated at 180! Retails for around 60 bucks. I think it would make a nice little primary for the average OW diver.
