Torches

[scarred]

hello,
I've have been looking at dive torches for quite some time now with hundreds of suggestions but no I have narrowed it down to two torches. But I cant decide what one to go with I'm going to do my wreck diving and deep diving course so I wanted something that had a good burn time and I had seen my DM's and DI's use umbilical torches. The to contestants are:
Halcyon Proteus 3 10 watt HID and the Dive Rite 10-Watt HID Light

Has anyone used these torches or seen them in action and could anyone advise me on which would be better? thank you!

My husband and I have a 10W HID from Salvo (adjustable focus). I have a soft handle for my smaller hand and my husband has a normal goodman handle. We live near cave country and were able to go into their headquarters and view all product. Very nice!

Sorry I can't give a review on the two above.

thank you for the link! thats a great website because of the pictures of the beams are great to actually see what I'm expecting from the torch

You might want to have a look at these lights
GreenForce - Divelights

They are available worldwide. I have one battery and two heads. Lets just say these are robust. In the UK the distributor, a certain Mr Roy Lumb, will hammer nails into wood using these lights. Tougher than nails and rather bright lights

The fixed focus Salvo 10W canister light is a lovely little light -- It's darned near as bright as my 21W, because of the tight focus, and it's quite small, and attractively priced. And Salvo's customer service absolutely ROCKS.

I second that. Salvo and DiveRite are probably the better choices.

looks like diverite wins then does anyone know if diverite will be at the LIDS march cause I've heard that you get some great deals there.
