if you don't want to spend to much on a new torch try and pick up a second hand one.uk400r gives a good burn time and pretty decent light depending on which bulb/filament you go for.its the usual senario dont know what to go for because theres now so much choice about.i bought a light cannon 100 from under water kinetics about 2 yr ago,its a hid torch which puts out whiteish blue light which apparently goes further underwater,there available in rechargable or you can put 8 c cells in it.the burn time is 4 hours on the c cells and not sure on the recharge side unless you leave it on until goes dead.wouldn't it be great if you could try before you buy,the only problem is the bulbs cost a fortune if it blows,there around 80quid like mark said but there supposed to last 1000plus hrs so thats a lot of diving. lots of the divers i dive with have got ukd4rs or ukd8rs these all seem to give of a good light plus the added security of twin bulbs one 15watt and one 5watt.the best option probably is to go and have a good play with them in your local dive shop and see whats suits you best for your needs.or ask your dive buddys what they use,which ever you go for, nowadays there all pretty bomb proof.enjoy looking
