Reliable Strobes

[Scubadude_LA]

Figured I would post this here since the application of the strobe will be used in wrecks.
Looking for a couple of strobes to be used to mark egress in murky wrecks overheads, so want something reliable at a reasonable cost, if that is even possible.
I see Tektite but have read about frequent flooding issues with them. Maybe that is user error.
Also looking at the Pathfinder, which seems reliable based on what I've read, notably more expensive.
Also Jotron.

Any experiences would be appreciated.

I own the TekTite 3500, and it has been very good for me. I inspect the o-rings and slightly lube them every time I open it up, so far no leaks.

I would have bought a Pathfinder, could not find a dealer at the time.

I have a Jotron, but haven't used it much.

This is an old thread, maybe it will help you... or confuse you more Tektite 200 V Jotron AQ4 comparison test. - Rebreather World

Thanks for your responses. May try a tektite or jotron for now. If conditions were such that a failed strobe would be a deal breaker there would be reels involved anyway

I realize it is an old thread, but did you pick one of these up and how did it fare?
I am looking for a couple now for the same application.
