| I was happy to use HIDs in Florida but have switched to LEDs now I am back in the UK. I have found that the HIDs just don't take kindly to the knocks and bumps getting to and diving places like Hodge and the Silica mines. If we are talking canister lights Greenforce LEDs are relatively inexpensive but if you have the cash the Salvo 21 watt LED is a great choice. For back ups I am now using the tektite excursion. It's a 4 watt LED, gives plenty of light and is tough as old boots! You can also helmet mount them if you want to dive side-mount. Greenforce and Tektite torches are available from Lumb Brothers. If you want to buy a Salvo book a cave diving course in Florida and buy it out there. The light will be half the UK price and you will save more than the price of the air fare! Cathy at the Dive Outpost in Florida is a US dealer and she can sort you out with an instructor, cylinders and accomadation to. |
