used mine for the first time in anger at Stoney yesterday. The new head makes all the difference. It seemed brighter than my buddies UK D8R, probably because it gives a whiter light. I had planned to get some video footage but I had some problems with frozen fingers in the 6 degree water.
As a first dive light, for those who don't want to spend big bucks on umbilicals etc, I don't think you'd do much better than this for the money. As led's become even brighter it is a 15 second job to change the module yourself so there is a simple upgrade path too. You are stuck with just the one choice of optic though ( a 10 degree beam ) which is a shame as I think having a choice of a narrower and a broader optic would be nice.
