Since I started PSD diving I have always used a hand held light. Princeton Shockwave 8C cell battery light as my main light carried on my right hand. I have two spares one on my left shoulder strap and one in my gear pocket. Both small pelican lights. I can say that I have yet to have a problem with the Princeton as far as how well it holds up. I have had the bulbs get a little off center with a couple of good hits and just recently the rubber boot came loose and does not want to stay on. Maybe a littel adhesive will be required. Other than that the light has help up exceptionally weel.
At any rate on several occaisions I have found my hand held light to be cumbersome especially in instances where I have a need to use both hands and have good light. My question is why wouldn't a NR Swiftwater with the AGA kit work for me if I rounted the wire carefully so as to not create another snag hazard? From what I have read it seems canister lights are not too popular among PSD divers. The more I have used this forum and I see the advertisement on the left hand side of the screen showing a AGA with this type of light I just had to investigate. It would be a big investment so I am looking for some insight. Thanks in advance.
