Two weeks ago I proudly toted my new Intova Ultra Nova into Little River, only to have it flood on the second dive and reduce to a faint, intermittent blinking cry for help.
Why did it flood, if you know? Is there a known problem?

that also makes it no good for me. how bright is this thing though? is it pretty focused?
Edd thinks pretty highly of it.
I look at can lights, and many of the 'names' have this great beam and 4-5 hours of burn time.
However, with lights like the Intova Ultranova, and many other fine handhelds, why is the preferred light still the can light?
Reading this thread - http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/technical-diving-specialties/369523-canister-lights-one-why.html revealed that many of the can lights have only 4 -5 hours burn time, so hauling the heavy can and light doesn't seem to make sense, when so many handhelds produce so admirably.
So, if someone made an adjustable goodman handle for handhelds, they might have greater use?
So - what if someone made a goodman handle by which you could mount a hand-held?
I'm thinking the huge strides in battery output and the LED development will make an impact on the can light industry.
One retailer in FL (not Edd) told me there was a known bad batch, and that they hadn't had any floods since they sent that batch back to the factory. It's possible I did something stupid, too, but that would have most likely have flooded the battery compartment, and that only had a few drops in it. So I'm claiming innocence.Why did it flood, if you know? Is there a known problem?
