Whilst I've heard rumours of problems with them, I've been happy with mine.

I use the old 21w/13.5 Can, mostly for cave diving but with a bit of deep ocean too. Its been pretty damn robust, even after being squished thoroughly into the gravel in the entrance to truffe.

I had an issue with the original connectors (like those from an RC pack), but they now use andaman connectors which are cool. Other than that you hear rumbles about;

1. Charging. Like many NiMh chargers you have to disconnect/reconnect to achieve a full charge.
2. flickery light. Doesnt bother me, as long as I can see, the robustness of the bulb far outweighs this. Might be an issue if you're using for video.
