I've had a Dive Rite 10W HID for about 6mths, I've had no bother with it. It survived being shipped across the Atlantic, rattling around the back of my car and being dragged around in a tackle sack. I've had an equally badly reputed WA 18W for about three years, again no trouble.
I've got a Dive Rite 10W handheld, absolutely brilliant, about the size of a fat Scout and cheap as well if you've got some leftover cash. I think it came to about 160quid (1.5-2hr burn with a decent set of NiMH batteries).
Cheers,
