Not much point in spending £1000s on dive gear if you can't see anything.   A torch is one of the most important parts of your dive set up. It surpises me the amount of people I see with expensive dive set ups but with cheap crappy torches. Trust me don't skim and save on light, go for the best you can afford. I own a c/d HID and at £420 it isnt cheap but when in pitch black which you so often get in uk waters its makes me glad I did spent the £420
<font color='#0000FF'>dan,
i too paid £420 but &nbsp;for a metalsub umbilical and it is v.good.
however i bought that torch a couple of years ago and given back my £420 i would buy 2 of the 50w umbilicals @ £140 each and pocket the &nbsp;other £140..........why?
because having two is better than one and i know about 30 guys that dive with them and swear by them.
i would not have recommended www.aqua-vision.co.uk if i did not think the torches are reliable.
cheers
