UTD Expedition LED Light System

As far as lumens go I believe it is in the range of 21W HID (correct me if I'm wrong). Isn't a WA 10W HID 450 lumens?

From what I've seen, HIDs are more efficient at higher power, LEDs are the opposite. A 10W HID is commonly rated at about 500 lumen. A 21W HID is about 1,500 lumen. A 35w HID is about 3,000 lumen. Doubling the power more than doubles the output.

My 15W Dive Rite HID is 1000 lumens, for example.

Ah, if you look at this picture:

UTD Explorer LED Light System - 10 Ah Li-Ion LED

If the the double-ender is one of the bigger one at 4 3/4" long, the light head looks to be about 8" long (rough approximation).

Looking forward to reports from in-field reports and more beam shots.

I wonder if the LED emitter array output, along with the beam culmination is 1000 lumen equivalent? That may be how they're marketing the power output.

I did not realize Aton was licensing this to UTD, odd. Its sold in the US by Tillytec.

Thanks for clarification on Aton. A lot of information here New Dimension of dive light by Diving Innovations&Repairs - DIR Explorers
