tank lights

[laserdoc]

What do most of you guys use for a locator light on your tank? One of those shakemup light sticks or a small light with batteries???

I supply my group with flashing light sticks. Each buddy group has one color so I can track them.

I wear a red strobe, and I give everyone else a green chemlight or lazerstick(battery operated)

I know where my tank is, therefore I don't need a locator light.
If my buddy wants to know where I am he/she can simply look for my light beam but if he is that far away then I might as well be diving solo.

I was on a night dive last year in Aruba and two people had the flashing red led lights on their tanks. I thought the flashing was a little annoying. Would not a steady on light be better?? What dive shop in Atlanta are you at abysmaldiver

I had to buy tank lights because some dive operators require them. These are for non DM led dives too. Go figure.

Anyway, I got the Aquatec LED lights that were reviewed in Scubadiving magazine a few months back. They are small and slim and the battery/on/off switch is made out of metal not plastic. Pretty sturdy and not so much light as to be blinding. Just a warm glow. Constant on not the flashing one. Cost was around $17 at LeisurePro.

Long burn time too- 50 hrs.

What Green said for 1 buddy team. if there are a few people at the same site, the
light colors let you know at a glance if it is your buddy or a diver crossing your path in the silt....
Battery lights work for many evenings night dives. A chem stick works for one night.

Battery operated tank light, similar to a glow stic in size and color. Opted away from glow sticks as they are not cost effective over the long haul, an are not as environmentally sound as a battery operated light.

I use one of those lazersticks with pretty decent luck. I have noticed though nothing really beats one of those green chem sticks. Those sticks show up extremely well. I have one of the blue lazerstick, and my buddy has a red one. The red one definately shows up better than the blue one.
