Recomend me a light

[joCCe]

Hi.

I'm looking for a light with a canister and a goodman handle in the price range $ 700 - 800. I'm quite new to diving and any help is appreciated

Thanks
Joakim

What kind of diving do you do?

For that price range it's hard to beat this:

If you want focusable, spend a little bit more $$ and get this:

Thanks for the tips jonnythan.

I really liked night diving and I will do a lot more of that. I'm also gonna dive through out the winter so I'll need a good light because it's pitch black here after 17:00 in a month or so. My depht dont go beyond 30 - 35 meters for now. I've never tried a HID light before, but is 10W HID enough for a good night dive? As I said in my first post, I'm quite new to this sport

Thanks

Oh yeah! Like the sun, man.

10w is as good as you're gonna get for less than $1100!!

And yeah, 10w HID is way more light than you need for a night dive. They don't work so well as a signaling light in bright sunshine, but that's not a big deal.

If you want to buy "somewhat" local, you can check out these offerings from Sweden: http://www.dyk-brand.se/comersus/store/comersus_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=381

The future of dive lights is going in the direction of the LED lights, they're way more durable with longer burn time. The higher wattage lamps aren't "ready for prime time" yet, but its only a matter of when, not if.

You have couple of choices, but my recommendation is Green Force. They have HID and LED and everything is interchangeable and it's bullet proof. The 10 Watt HID is great, VERY bright and I picked it up for under $800 fully loaded with goodman handle.

Thanks a bunch for all the tips and ideas.

I bought a light from DragonSub and I'm very happy with it. It's a 21W LED light with a quite light battery pack (-0.5 kg negative in water). I'v orderer a custom made goodman handle made from 6082 ALU and it sure looks sweet. I'll get it next week. Here's a pick of my light and more info is available here if you habla espanol. www.dragonsub.com
