Hi,
Phylo has directed me to this thread and I would like to jump in and give you guys some feedback. We have gone though several websites in the last year and we haven't transferred all the contents from the previous site to our existing website yet. We had a comparason image of a 21w HID versus our 50w overvolted bulbs and some can argue that our 50w halogen outshines the 21w HID.
For the tech divers that are going to spend more than 2 hours diving, I would recommend a low power HID with a durable housing. Everyone else can consider our products becuase our lights use MR16 lamps, which come in different beam angles, color temperaturs, and power output. You can find some information on this page:

Most of the MR16 lamps in the market last between 3000 to 5000 hours, so even with a overvolted battery you will still get a couple hundred hours of burn time. We have experienced 2-3 cases of lens that cracked due to impact but we have yet to encounter a case where the light burnt out on us. Those lights still functioned with a fractured reflector but we just replaced since it was fairly cheap to replace.
Every one of our lights comes with 2 or 3 spare bulbs, so bulb life is not much of a concern compared to a broken HID bulb.
Also, we just posted some video housing adapters from Ultralight and we're providing a solution to videographers that don't want to spend $1600 on a set of videolights.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask me, I'll be happy to answer them for you.
